ok i just dropped out of summer school so i could go see squarepusher
i bought tickets today
now, the only problem is that the event is 19+, and i dont have a drivers license or passport, although i am over 19
i called the Phoenix (the club where hes playing) and they said you need "government issued photo ID", or allowing me in would be up to "the discretion" of the security fools
i figure ill go with every piece of ID, photo and not photo, that i have, including my birth cirtificate and health card..... those are pretty official... birth cirtificates are printed on that cool fabricy paper, u know what i mean
but technically they could still turn me away at the door, in which case, theres a good chance my heart may break in two
can anyone give me tips at all to help me maximize the chance of getting in?
i NEED to see squarepusherrrrrrrrrr

don't bribe 'em... it's weird enough you can't show your true age.
Just bring whatever you have, if you have some kind of proof you went to a certain school (at a certain age), wouldn't that help?

NO!
i had my birth certificate, health card, school student card (photo), TTC (public transit) student card (photo), and more..... but NOOOOOOOOOO
that wasn't enough for mister "Listen kid, teh liquer inspector could show up any time, and if he sees you here without photo ID I can get in shit. And no offence kid, but you look 16."
"Fuck you mister!" (no i didn't really say that)
"hey, most kids have that kind of ID by the time they're 19"
"yeaaaaaaaah fuck off" (again, i didn't say this)
i scalped my ticket, made back most of the cost..... fuck, like i even care about the money :(

AMinal: well, when is the show again? you can always apply for an lcbo photo card - it proves that you are 19.
is your health card only have the number or does it have a photo? b/c if it does have a photo, then you can use that.
do you have a passport? you can also use that. depending on when the show is, you can find out how long certain places can process your photo id - such as the health card option. im guessing it is a lot faster than the others (but possibly the same amount of time as the lcbo card).
to get the health card, you have to find an office nearby and tell them you lost your previous card or something. they'll probably need you to show your SIN, birth cert., etc. all that stuff. so bring every identification, photo or not, that you have. hope that helps.

Yeah even the UK has an age proving card thingy, if this backwater shithole does then surely the US has something similar. Make sure this doesn't happen again!

not to rub it in or anything, but i just saw squarepusher here in san francisco. amazing amazing show of audio and visual assualt. it was mostly just noise and distortion, or at least stuff i didn't or couldn't recognize. though, he did do f-train (i think that was the one), come on my selector, and his encore was journey into redham.
luke vibert was good, too. he started with plaistow flex out and heard some aphex in there i think.
nearly four hours. great stuff
