April 24[edit]

Get Smart[edit]

I bought the boxset of Get Smart, but the last disk is missing. Can anyone tell me what happened in the final episode? Thanks, Genius 101^Guestbook 03:33, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The old link-to-a-fansite trick. Clarityfiend (talk) 06:21, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I was going to say the same thing, but would you believe I missed it by that much ? StuRat (talk) 08:01, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

@Clarityfiend: The second time I've fallen for that this week! (Seriously, I was on that site earlier yesterday!) Thanks, 99.240.227.108 (talk) 14:42, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Forgot to sign in. Thanks, Genius 101^Guestbook 14:42, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea, 99. Gwinva (talk) 01:27, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speaking of which, why did Netflix drop the first season from its catalog? —Tamfang (talk) 19:08, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Jason Mraz[edit]

Today at a restaurant, on 104 street 102 Avenue in Edmonton, that starts with Ric, at around 2:00 pm, a song that sounds like it was sung by Jason Mraz (maybe coveredbyhim) but sounded more produced, in the chorus, one of the notes, where only his voice goes down, I believe a whole tone, played. Who was the artist and the song name?68.148.130.72 (talk) 05:37, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not a lot to go on. Any lyricss, comparison songs that might be similar in style? Personally I think that Jason Mraz and Joshua Radin both sound reasonably similar so may be worth looking at Joshua Radin's songs on iTunes or Amazon to get a preview. "I'd rather be with you" is one of Radin's bigger hits I think. ny156uk (talk) 16:32, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yea, it's not a lot, sorry, I didn't really take note of the lyrics. It's not the song you gave me either:-/ Thanks tho.68.148.149.184 (talk) 02:49, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds more like Jason Mraz.68.148.149.184 (talk) 03:05, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Followup: the restaurant is called Ric's grill or Ric's Grill.68.148.149.184 (talk) 08:06, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Where can I sell my tickets?[edit]

I have two tickets to a performance of a world-class jazz musician in a fine concert hall that I need to sell. I have listed them on eBay for 50% of face value but no one wants to bid. The concert is not completely sold out, but the area where my seats are, and any better areas, are all sold out. It seems as though there would be a market for my tickets, but I do not know how to access it. Any help would be appreciated. Mike R (talk) 13:59, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you go to the venue on the day you may find people nearby willing to buy or sell tickets. This may be illegal in some places, although if you sell them for the face value or less you are probably OK. Alternatively try contacting the box office: some venues will try to sell the tickets for you, and give you the proceeds if they succeed. DJ Clayworth (talk) 14:15, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, I will not be in town on the day of the concert. That is why I need to sell the tickets in the first place. I will look into your second option, but am not optimistic that they would be willing to do this. Thanks, Mike R (talk) 14:45, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Does the artist have a website or a page on a social networking site like Myspace or Facebook ? You may be able to connect with fans of the artist and find someone who would love to purchase the tickets. I have used this method to arrange preshow parties with fellow fans of a couple bands before concerts. good luck and cheers, 10draftsdeep (talk) 15:48, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, Craigslist could work. Or I would recommend Stubhub, which does exactly the sort of thing you are looking for. Livewireo (talk) 16:14, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Or if there's plenty of time put them in a for-sale section of a local-paper. Or if you work (or know someone who does) in a good sized office put up a little poster - most larger offices seem to have a Bulletin Board for such things. ny156uk (talk) 16:29, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have bought on StubHub, and it worked quite well. Might that be an option? Thanks, 99.240.227.163 (talk) 16:47, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Do you know about the worth of the Monkees record " A Little Bit me, A little Biy you and on the b Side "She Hangs Out.[edit]

I would like to find a Monkees Collector as I have two 45 reoords of the rare record of A Little Bit Me A Little Bit you and on the B side She Hangs Out, which was withdrawn from the shelves.

A site like here (http://www.cooperowen.com/) or other auction-houses are you place to go. Or join a monkee's fan-site (http://www.psycho-jello.com/monkees/) they're bound to have a selling/trading section. ny156uk (talk) 16:28, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ecuadorian music[edit]

Many years ago, when I was a child, my parents used to listen to a music from Ecuador by an artist of the name Zurita/s or Surita/s–96.10.241.168 (talk) 17:32, 24 April 2009 (UTC). How would I go about finding their music today?[reply]

To clarify – by the slash do you mean an accent (Zuritás)? —Tamfang (talk) 19:43, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
