I skipped every day of classes that there has been a Matt Good CD release, which is only meaningful because I have never skipped another day ever. But I would do it to sit outside the mall, and as soon as it opened I would run in and make this insane mad dash for the CD store. Avalanche actually shipped a day late, so I had to do it twice that year. (Side note: I also bought "Big Shiny Tunes 7" just for Weapon. It was worth it, but yargh.)
Also, for the last Matthew Good show the tickets went on sale at 10 when ticketmaster opened. I happened to be out for breakfast with my current boyfriend. Now i warned him that at ten I was not going to be a pretty sight, but he had no idea what he was really in for, because at ten since i was away from my computer I had to call to get tickets and they were released the same day as INXS. So I spent close to an hour in near hysterics calling over and over again trying to get through to get my Matt Good tickets, while her also called on his cell phone and inbetween dialing apologized profusely for taking me out. I'm actually amazed he didn't leave on the spot, because I think I probably yelled at him a lot too, but the memory is kind of a blur.
