Craig's List = GREAT!

so i know that you always hear horror stories from people who got scammed on craig's list and other sites like that, but i had a great experience this week. i really wanted to go see interpol play last night, but couldn't afford a ticket at full price. randomly, i found a listing for someone who was giving a ticket away to the person who had the best reason why they wanted to ticket. of course i jumped on the opportunity. i said that i was poor, just out of college and loved interpol since their freshman album. the guy wrote me back and said that since i was an assitant media planner (the position he started in), that the ticket was mine. AWESOME!!! me and some friends went to meet him at a bar before the show and he ended up being freaking cool. he is a big-wig with a major corporation and does product strategy and marketing. he had great advice for me and some bad-ass stories about how he used to be a roadie for a couple of bands in the 80s. i love craig's list after this and hope that others have as good as an experince as i have.
