Black Friday used to actually just be one day long. Shoppers would camp outside of stores, paper circulars in hand, eagerly awaiting the chance to bust down some doors and save a ton of cash. Over time, the sales event has grown. Now, the entire month of November is a hydra where the heads are…
Vivid Seats has been part of some of the highest of highs and lowest of lows of my concert-going experience. Because of Vivid Seats, I was able to get a last-minute ticket to Chance the Rapper’s sold-out Coloring Book show at the Oracle Arena in Oakland in 2017 (before he fell off; IYKYK). Vivid Seats…
