This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I am going to the Madonna concert tonight in Chicago by wrathofsorin
I am doing this for my wife's birthday.
We just found out this past week that the concert doesn't even begin until 1030p. The concert will be about 2.5 hours long. Half the time nowadays, I am asleep by about 1030p. Further, as per her set lists from New York, she will be singing her entire new album but only 4 old songs, at least one of which occurs during the encore. Further yet, they will be making everyone put their phones in some kind of special bag to prevent use during the concert.
Finally, the concert is in a smaller venue at the Chicago Theater (presumably because she might not be able to sell out a larger venue). My nightmare is that Madonna will somehow see me looking bored or asleep and call me out during the concert.
Please pray for me.
