"Gnarls Barkley will be doing a semi-secret show in New York on September 26th. In the past, many Gnarls pals have said 'how come I didn't know about this show!' so this time, we are going to give you a big fat hint how to get a ticket."

how do we get the email? (the flyer says no forwards accepted.)

I am nearby. If anyone has the email and can't reach the store, I'll run to it for you - we'll split the tickets?

Posted by andi | September 21, 2006 10:41 AM

agreed... this is quite the tease without the email....

Here's a thought: Use a word processing program to fabricate a printout of an actual e-mail. Copy the header that's in this blog entry but put your own name (since it says you have to present a "matching photo ID") and e-mail address in the "To:" field. Then put the body of the e-mail and the image from the link below that. (I'm assuming that the image was in the e-mail itself and not linked-to as BV has done above, right, BV?)

I printed out the flyer linked above and brought it to the store and they took it. It looked like they weren't sure if they should and two separate people had to look at it, but they still took it.

And when I say they "took it", I mean they accepted it and gave me two tickets. They didn't confiscate it.

just got my pair. w00t!

Posted by brandon | September 21, 2006 1:10 PM

im pretty sure oh no! oh my! are on this bill, too...

Posted by d | September 21, 2006 1:40 PM

i just grabbed a pair too. easy peasy. i think i was around 47th on the list, so assuming that each person grabbed their 2 per allotment, that means as of 1pm, less than 100 tix given out? i saw quite a few pages of blank lines on the list after my name.

they make you show ID to prove your age and identity, and you have to write down your name, signature and they make you sign the back of the tix too to deter scalpers, i guess.

Posted by Qbertplaya | September 21, 2006 1:48 PM

they didn't make me sign the back of the tickets

Posted by brandon | September 21, 2006 2:13 PM

yo, picked my tickets up too. just printed the above image and brought it over. they barely looked at and then torn it up. They wrote my name on the tickets and said they would check names at the door. Thank you brooklyn vegan, you rule!

Posted by dookie | September 21, 2006 2:47 PM

you know when bv is all like, "tell me what you'd like to see more of on this site"? more like this! i got my pair (#69 around 2ish) without even needing to show my "email" first. he just sort of took it and threw it on a pile after i signed the sheet and he handed me the tickets. they were all very genial in there and told me to "enjoy the concert!" on my way out. yay, nokia!

Posted by cat | September 21, 2006 2:49 PM

Just got mine. Thanks for the hint.

Posted by Kathleen | September 21, 2006 3:08 PM

Got my tickets around 2.45. Seems like they had plenty left.

Thanks BV!

Posted by preston | September 21, 2006 4:06 PM

Just got mine -- almost 5 p.m. Thanks, Brooklyn Vegan! ;)

Posted by msk | September 21, 2006 4:51 PM

I just got the 100th pair at around 5pm, it looked like there was a sizable pile of them left...

thanks brooklyn vegan!

Posted by rose | September 21, 2006 5:35 PM

Posted by rad | September 25, 2006 2:39 PM
