Better Perfect Friends Endings
Posted by Cammi Crossen in Concerts, Country Music, Rock, Uncategorized, affiliates on April 15th, 2011
TV fans, do not be afraid. What you are seeing is not something from the Twilight Zone, but rather a mesh of writers’ lack of originality and creativity.
‘Friends’ (NBC) was the greatest show of all time and I’m confident enough to say so. It had the perfect formula for success with 3 guys and 3 girls who are all 30-something best friends living in the city, experience many adventures, hookups, breakups, and all to the sweet sound of a laugh track. Introduce an episode of ‘Friends’ to anyone who has never really watched the show and they will instantly fall in love with Ross, Rachel, Phoebe, Joey, Monica, and Chandler.
‘Friends’ aired for 10 wonderful years and there has not and will not be anything like it. Today you will find 3 shows on major networks that are attempting to use the magical formula to recreate the perfect friend group. However, we are not fooled and will not be swayed.
‘Happy Endings’ (ABC) premiered last night with one of the gals leaving one of the guys at the altar. How original. Rachel left her fiancé during the pilot episode of ‘Friends’ and on the ‘Perfect Couples’ (NBC) premiere two of the friends decide not to get married just before walking down the aisle. ’Happy Endings’ also features 6 familiar characters that you will find uncanny resemblances to in ‘Friends’ and ‘Perfect Couples’ as well as a purple-walled apartment that will take you back to Monica’s trademark apartment.
‘Perfect Couples’ follows the ‘Friends’ path a bit less than ‘Happy Endings’ since the characters are all in relationships with each other, however ‘Perfect Couples’ seems to have taken a page out of the ‘Better With You’ (ABC) playbook, a show that I have enjoyed from the start. ’Perfect Couples’ compares the lives at 3 couples who are all friends but are in different stages in their relationships. ’Better With You’ also features 3 couples in different staged relationships, however the characters are related with the two girls being sisters and the oldest couple being their parents. ’Better With You’ trumps ‘Perfect Couples’ because the characters are naturally funny and it is the only show out of the 3 that boasts a laugh track (a lost art).
There are so many similarities and comparisons between these 4 shows (as if the picture doesn’t say it all) that I could rant about the outrage all afternoon. So I will leave you with the most important piece of information… Cammi’s official ranking:
4th- ‘Perfect Couples’ (Bad jokes and bad casting! Bleh!)
3rd- ‘Happy Endings’ (Funny moments… if you can get past the ‘Friends’ parallels)
2nd- ‘Better With You’ (Classic comedy that will make you want to hang with your sis)
1st- ‘Friends’ (Need I say more?)
After all of this confusion, I am sure that you are wanting to do something that involves a bit less creative overlap. Well then check out Circle City Tickets for the best deals on tickets to shows to see your favorite creative music artists this summer!

Calling all Dave Heads, DMB just announced an 12 stop fall tour starting in November! Unfortunately, the tour is all on the East Coast, it starts in Buffalo, NY on November 2, includes two shows at Madison Square Garden on November 12 and 13 and wraps up where it all began 20 years ago with a two night stand in Charottesville, NC on November 19 and 20. This tour will be the last time anyone will be able to see DMB for at least a year, they have previously announced taking off 2011, and as good as this summer has been I am sure the fall tour will be just as amazing. As always, Circle City Tickets will have tickets to every show on DMB’s fall tour. Don’t miss out!

Hullabalou…A hulla good time
Posted by Grill Master in Uncategorized on July 27th, 2010
This past weekend, my girlfriend Kate and I along with her brother and his friend made a trip south to historic Churchill Downs in Louisville, KY. It wasn’t for horses however, it was for the first annual Hullabalou Music Festival that was being held there. The music festival had an outstanding line up. The three day fest had five stages and over 60 bands with the headliners Bon Jovi, Kenny Chesney and Dave Matthews Band. Now, as you probably know my girlfriend Kate and I are huge Dave Matthews Band fans, so we were very excited go to go this show! On top of seeing DMB we were also excited to see Zac Brown Band and a slew of other acts.
The first part of our experience was a little crazy, since it was the first year they had this festival it was a little unorganized and at the beginning we had a hard time finding out how to get to our seats and how to see the other bands. Once we figured it out however it was a wonderful time. Zac Brown Band put on an amazing show playing their hits Toes and Chicken Friend along with Covers of Neon by John Mayer, Devil Went Down To Georgia by Charlie Daniels and God Bless America. The show was great, after the show were very excited to see Dave Matthews Band and he was awesome. He had such good energy and the set list was great. One of the highlights was when Zac Brown came out and played a All Along the Watchtower the DMB. It was incredible to see both artist up there jamming out and have a great time. What made the performance even better was during the middle the starting singing Stairway to Heave by Led Zepplin. It was one of the coolest things I have ever seen.
Overall, our experience at Churchill Downs was great. We had great VIP seats thanks to Circle City Tickets! It was a magical venue with great music and I got to experience with some wonderful people. I would recommend to everyone to make sure you check out Hullabalou next year!
Indiana boys on an Indiana night
Posted by Indy Jill in Concerts, Country Music, Theatre, Uncategorized, affiliates on July 22nd, 2010
“She grew up in an Indiana town,
Had a good lookin’ Mama who never was around.
But she grew up tall and she grew up right
With them Indiana boys on an Indiana night.”
-Tom Petty
It was an Indiana night with Indiana boys (and girls) and Tom Petty blew the roof off of Verizon Wireless Music Center. This happened to be my first concert at the Verizon venue in Noblesville and it was the ultimate concert experience thanks to VIP parking and Club access. This is the only way to go—we drove right past the lines of traffic waiting to get in and entered the separate VIP parking lot. Top shelf bar and café-style dining don’t even compare to the lines at the concession stands outside the VIP area. Tom Petty put on an incredible show and we had amazing seats because my favorite ticket broker, Circle City Tickets, always has the best seat in the house!
