www.craigslist.com

Every once in awhile I come across a website the deserves some attention. I had heard a minor buzz about www.craigslist.com. So, being the SlickChick that I am, naturally I had to test it out. It’s a community bulletin board, you can find job postings, apartment rentals, merchandise for sale, rants and raves, 4:20,personals and pretty much anything else you are looking for. Now I realize that sounds very simple, what could all the hype be about, let me tell you... this is of gradiose international scale.

Being the geeky goddess that I am, I always like to try things out, never trust Oprah to give you the skinny on things. My first order of business was to purchase a couple tickets to see Liz Phair at the Phoenix (410 Sherbourn Street) on Sunday night. Such a fantastic show, nice to see Ms Phair maturing into a fantastic artist. Her acoustics were sublime. She stayed close to her new cd, only giving up a few random old tunes... I was wishing for 'Fuck and Run' ... but only for personal reasons.

It’s a great set-up, you hit reply to ad, and it opens up your email, you respond to an anonymous email address, which is great, given that no one really wants to post their email address for all the freaks and the Geeks to spam, then you just sit back and wait. For me, a lovely young gal named 'Meg' sent me an email explaining that she had gotten a better set of tickets and wanted to unload hers. Luckily for me, I paid less then face value for a great show... except of course that damn cello player in the opening band Matt Pond. Its one of those instruments that has trouble fitting in... Like the big fat chick, surrounded by the skinny rock and roll chicks. Half the time it was hard to tell if it was feedback or that damn cello again... tres annoying.

High on my Liz Phair ticket success, I decided to see what else I could get, so...

Today (Monday) I went back to craigslist and applied for the position of trophy girlfriend.... who knows what will come of that... I will keep you posted (hahaha @ posted)
