there are a lot of "indie" artists in the $30-50 range, and i just can't do it. it just seems anathema if indie was a real thing and not just a marketing term. even upward of $50 is tough when i already love the artist because i feel shows shouldn't cost that much. some of these shows are more than $100 a ticket after fees.

anyway, when you graduate from school, let me know if you find yourself in a profession and get really good at it. then i'll ask you how you would feel if your wages were slashed 75-100% because someone's moral whims think they should be.
