from W.A.S.T.E. email:
-------------------------
... Please note that as a special service to W.A.S.T.E customers, all tickets
bought through our site will be handled differently than those purchased
through Ticketmaster. All ticket orders for the original Field Day Music
Festival purchased through W.A.S.T.E will automatically be transferred to
the one-day event tickets at Giants Stadium. We will automatically refund
any difference in face value paid and will randomly assign seats based on
our allocation. ..
-------------------------
UPDATE: (Amazing 2 strikes days) WASTE has now given us the option. respect.
Field Day no go, go , new venue? - huh?
Though official word is not out, Ticketmaster is listing a new on sale date for Field Day Fest at Giants Stadium for one day only event this coming Sat. Talk about short ticket notice.
Though I know very little about the ongoing battles with the county, it must be stated that something is simply unprofessional about how this issue dragged on up to the last days. Granted that many large festivals only receive their "go aheads" a few days prior to their date, someone on the inside of this promotion house should have been clear with a verbal on the go ahead.
A venue change to Giants Stadium only 3 DAYS prior to the event is unacceptable. How will tickets arrive? Do they plan on 60,000 will call tickets?
Sounds to me like the winner here is Ticketmaster who not only picked up 2 sets of fees (for the now cancelled site and the new site), but will also rape all purchasers with "Next Day delivery" charges...
For those that make it to Giants Stadium, i wish you luck. For you all, I truly hope it all works out in the end..
Update: So i ranted a bit and got some of it wrong. The refunds look to cover at least some of the Ticketmaster costs which is in good faith... but I still stand by my view of how it was handled. The venue change was unfortunate.... but I guess we should be happy something is happening for those that want to attend.

Re-discovered missing classics.
LA's musical tastes vary as much as mine. Allowing her to dig into CD collections when visitng friends will usually lead to some begging for me to "copy" some her discoveries.
Copy schmocky... half.com or Amazon Used should have what she needs as original. Case in point: Fiona Apple's 1996 debut "Tidal" and the absolute perfect soul record of the 70's: Stevie Wonder's "Songs in the Key of Life" (make sure and get the 2000 Motown remaster).
Fiona's debut is a damn good record. not what I am into right now, but when you can pick it up for 3.58 in "very good"condition (thats a total of $6.00 shipped), you cannot go wrong.
Stevie on the otherhand is a different story altogether. This double album+EP is so intense and loved... you'll be lucky to find it used for less than 20.00. You know what...fcuk it, buy this one new... the harmonics of this "true" live studio recording's mixdown is whats albums SHOULD sound like: compression free and unlimited. Buy this record for your kids if not for you....it goes without saying how much passion can be found here.
