No Big Slide Show

On Wednesday of last week I got an email from Crispin Glover's email list, saying that he was going to be in town (or rather, across the river):

The live tour comes to Cincinnati Ohio, September 10 & 11.

September 11

Sweet! I hadn't known of the Cincinnati Film Festival, but I'm not well connected to that scene, so I figured that was on me. But this was happening soon!

I checked the Cincy Film Fest's website, but there was no mention of Glover that I could find. I checked the venue's FB & site, to no avail. I then did actually find partial info on the Fest's site, so I tweeted at them, with no response.


I figured I was on my own.

Crispin Glover and DJ EmpiricalI don't really trust online ticket sales to go though on short notice; I'd had issues in the past with Will Call tickets being in limbo and having to convince people I was who I said I was. As I'd seen "Crispin Hellion Glover's Big Slide Show Part 2" and "It is fine. EVERYTHING IS FINE!" a few years ago in Indianapolis (see right), I figured I'd head down the first night, and grab a ticket then for both nights -- worst case scenario would be I'd miss out on the first night, which was the repeat stuff for me.

So I took off from work a bit early tonight, and zipped down (after grabbing a sandwich at home) to the Thompson House... which was locked. Hmm. Glover's FB said 7pm, and here it was 7:01. I turned around to head back to the car, as a woman unlocked the door.

Me: "Hi, I'm here for the Crispin Glover show...?"
Her, confused: "That's tomorrow."
Me, also confused: "I thought it was today and tomorrow?"
Her: "Nope, it's tomorrow and Wednesday."

This is the part of the show where I turn to their marquee, and sure enough, it says "Crispen [sic] Glover 09/10 11".

Shit.

I turn back to her. "Could I at least get tickets?"

"Sure. Come on in."

I followed her in, and we went to the upstairs office and I bought a ticket for each of the two nights. As the computer processed and printed, we chatted about the show, and she seemed as excited to see it as I was.


Well, at least I had the tickets.

Skip forward a bit, after the doing of the laundry and the pooping of the dog, and my phone lets me know I have another email. From Glove's list again:

Hello!

Unfortunately due to technical issues we've postponed the shows in Cincinnati till March 2014. I look forward to coming back to the good people here then!
Thank you!

Crispin

Dammit.

Now I have to head down to Thompson House again tomorrow to get a refund. Oh well. I imagine the tickets weren't flying off the proverbial shelves, anyway; remember, I'd only heard about it less than a week ago. Maybe it'll be better in the spring.
