Earlier today I spent a total of $100* on Hold Steady tickets for a trio of shows in NYC and Minneapolis. I figure by the end of their two-night stand at First Ave next month, I’ll be good buddies with Craig Finn & Co, and it’ll look something like this.

(Sorry, but once you start with the Photoshop hijinks, it’s hard to stop.)

* (Comprised mostly of Ticketmaster’s Service Fees, Additional Facility Overcharge, Beverage Refrigeration Levy, Water & Utilities Allowance, and Ticket Industry Monopolization Surtax.)
