I had plans to drive with a friend to the Chapo Trap House show tonight in Portland, but they ended up in the hospital a couple days ago and it turns out they won't be able to make it. Ticket prices were $25 plus fees, but I'm just looking for some gas money at this point. $20 even and the ticket is yours.

Legitimately not sure me if anyone is interested or if there is a better venue or community board to post this kind of thing, but I thought I'd throw this out there. Feel free to also dunk on my capitalist/failed capitalist tendencies as you wish. Alternatively, if you want to hedge your bets I'll probably just try to find someone at the venue who could use an extra ticket for a friend and give it away if no one wants it ahead of time, so I'd be happy to make a waitlist for anyone looking to go in that direction 😁 Cheers!

Edit:

It sold on Stubhub, the only place I posted it at or above list price (to offset the cut they take out of the seller's end, before tacking on "fees" on the buyer's end). But hey, that sweet gas money will now reach my PayPal®️ in 4-7 business weeks, so how could I have turned that down? :this-is-fine:

      Breaking News:

      • crowd was full of people from Portland and surrounding areas, unconfirmed reports that a small handful were from Idaho.
      • Felix pronounced "Oregon" incorrectly, and was jeered loudly for it.
      • there was a somewhat expected extended riff on the Oregon Trail video game, and a very unexpected extended riff on the Portuguese.
      • for reasons I will not divulge, Matt got incredibly excitable about fast food and made an absolutely ludicrous claim about the regional fast-casual Italian chain Fazoli's.

      All in all the experience completely exceeded my expectations.
