andinh and i shared a long morning and then evening and then morning again of refreshing and refreshing and refreshing and refreshing radiohead's ticketpage in hopes of scoring some front row amphitheatre seats. the website releases tickets randomly throughout the day. no one knows when tickets are let out. you can only pray that you refresh the page during those itsy bitsy tiny moments tickets are free for everyone's grabbing.

if you're lucky enough to get to the tickets screen, there is one last obstacle to overcome. radiohead tricks you into thinking that there are no more tickets by taking you next to a sold out page. you have to manually write in the "View Basket" address into your web browser to view your (secret) basket full of tickets. then, and only then, can you buy the most sought out tickets of the radiohead's 2003 hail to the thief north american tour. one false move, such as hitting the back button, or refreshing by accident, or clicking on the buy button more than once, and you are thrown out, launched into the outside world of franctically hitting the "refresh" "refresh" "refresh!!" in dire hopes of being let back in.

guess who got in.
