Bit of a followup to my post about the miserable experience that was all the shit related to Sunday night’s Radiohead show….

I sent Nissan Pavilion’s customer service e-mail a line about my experience, and my frustration, having spent so much on tickets, parking, gas, etc.

So I got a lovely e-mail back today from them.

Hi Marty

Thank you for contacting Nissan Pavilion regarding your experience on Sunday night. The torrential rain storm, multiple road closures and a late-arriving crowd led to delays for some music fans entering the parking lot at Nissan Pavilion. While we have no control over Mother Nature, we certainly are disappointed that some fans did not make it to the venue.

As a consolation, we would like to offer you complementary lawn tickets to Radiohead’s performance at the Susquehanna Bank Center in Camden, NJ on August 12th. We apologize for any inconvenience you experienced Sunday night and hope that this free ticket offer helps to make up for it.

Sure, they’re not pavilion seats, but hey, they’re free. And honestly, I didn’t even expect a response, just a “sure, we’ll get back to you” form letter. Classy move, LiveNation. You win this round.

Playing Grand Theft Auto 4 these past few weeks has been quite the experience.  Not only is the scope of the title completely unrivaled, but Rockstar really outdid themselves with the level of approximation of New York City in the games fake-location Liberty City.

Of course, I didn’t realize how well they did until I saw this great Flickr set of images, titled Sightseeing In Liberty City, which compares the fictional Liberty City to the real-life New York City.

Props to Flickr member Matthew Johnson for compiling this set, which you can view here.
