TicketBastard just emailed Seattlest HQ to tell us "Don't Miss Kenny Loggins!" And thank goodness, because Seattlest most certainly doesn't. Miss Kenny Loggins, that is. And then a wierd creepy feeling overtook us, something about Ticketmaster and this weekend...Argh, can't remember, what was it again...Look panick-stricken in the direction of Editor Dan sitting across the room, he mouths "What is wrong with you" because he's on the phone with Tom Delay trying to explain to......
