Typical Girls: Women in Punk/Post-Punk/Underground Music (Circa 1975-1980s)

[HunnyPi007 AT aol.com]

Sadly, I'm finding myself in the same position as Dan. Somehow thought  
tickets would be no prob. for tonight's show...  Tried buying them  
online, but it indeed seems to be sold-out that way. The Knit's box  
office doesn't open until 4pm, so I'm hoping to find out more then. In  
the meantime, if any of my typical brethren find themselves with an  
extra ticket, I would REALLY appreciate a hook-up!! I'm in Manhattan  
and can meet here or at the club before the show, and of course, I'll  
pay your costs. Having been a Raincoats fan most of my life, since  
buying their first album at 99 Records on the basis on the cover and  
Ed Bahlman's assertion that it was a good choice, writing the band in  
England around 1981 to inquire about getting their lyrics and  
receiving a lovely booklet with that and more, along with a sweet  
note, and reviewing ODYSHAPE in my high school newspaper (I think my  
Springsteen- and Benatar-loving classmates were a bit nonplussed), I  
will be quite crushed if I can't see this show.  : ** (

Thank you for whatever help you can provide, typical friends!!
