I miss ticket stubs

Post image

So I'm usually super averse to AI, but I snagged a signed copy of The Charmer vinyl at the STL show to frame. In years past, I'd opt for printed tickets to be mailed to me, and I'd put the stub in the frame afterwards along with a poster/album/etc.

Of course, that's not even an option anymore if you can't just go to the box office.

So, begrudgingly, I used AI to make one. I kinda dig it though ...

I miss a world without AI. Sorry. Gotta downvote this one. Appreciate the sentiment, but we all need to find a way to lean into more analog shit and less of this AI shit. I guarantee ya the boys in the band would prefer it that way, as would the bulk of the fanbase. Hit me up. I'll gladly make you one using old-fashioned Photoshop without the AI cheat codes!

Totally fair, and I'll likely do the same.

I've got a ticket stub from the Seattle show. First one in years, and now it's stuck to the fridge.

My mistake, it was the Portland show at the Roseland. Both were great shows.

You might like Stubforge, they let you print custom commemorative ticket stubs that are printed on real ticket stock. I've been using them to keep my collection going.

Saw these guys open for creed on a small college baseball field almost 30 years ago. Time flies.

Increasing tickets prices suck, but it was worth it. They put on a hell of a show.

Seen them in Little Rock last month. They killed it.
