I need $50.
 

I need $50 bucks to see Xiu Xiu in 8 days. I have already been looking for a job before I found out Xiu Xiu was playing in LA, but they're too soon for that to matter now. So, I am currently broke except for 2-3 dollars in quarters and dimes. Anyone have any ideas?

I would say sell plasma, but I don't think you're 18.

You could go around your school and ask random people for a dollar for a few days straight, a buddy of mine cleared $20 in a day doing that, and he only asked like 50 people

Sell your body, everyone likes a young virgin, no? Kidding.

I'll do it if I have to do it. I will see Xiu Xiu.

$10 per suck?? :D

seriously you can make $50 in a day of hard labor. just go where construction workers get picked up. the workout (it's going to be hard) is free

Yeah, not 18. I'll try the asking random people for money thing.

I'm also going to ask my parents for lunch money and just save it.

sorry man, you have parents, can't you ask for $50 in exchange for, i don't know, washing the dog for the next year, or something? just saying...

Tell them this concert will benefit you in getting good grades.

I've got straight A's for the past 5 years. They won't buy that...

oh-- duh!!!

you could ask the parental units $50 in advance against your paycheck

barring that you could get a payday loan & get in debt for the rest of your life

Then tell them they are a christian rock band who will turn you straight.

Nah, my dad bought me Sonic Youth tickets for the Greek Theater free of charge. He says as far as he is concerned, I already owe him.

oh. well maybe he's trying to teach you to not spend money you don't have.
i bet you can make $50 in a day unloading a truck.

or suck it up... hm...

sell some crap on ebay???? you could do a 3-day auction...

flea market/ yard sale

Good idea, I might send one of my guitar pedals that I never use any more to my neighbor.

My dad may have been trying to teach me something, but he wants to see SY play Daydream Nation too. He likes the majority of that album.

Just sell some cd's and stuff. If you are anything like me, you probably have a lot that you don't really listen to anymore. Now I know that even still, it may be hard to get rid of them. But if you aren't using them, this would be a good way to put them to use.

On a note, I just realized how sick I am. I was about to ask "what pedal? " and I don't even have 50 dollars to buy it.


where the hell is xiu xiu playing? 50 dollars is a lot of money for one band. Most I ever spent was like 35 on the Pixies.

A Digitech "Bad Monkey" Overdrive pedal plus the power supply. I'm selling it for $20.

You should scour change and sell your clothes. That is what I do when I'm really desperate for cash. By sell my clothes I mean I don't have good clothes, but I'm like "look at my shirt that I've had for 5 years man, it has tears in it, and real tears from being at shows and doing all kinds of crazy shit. It has mojo and soul. It's so punk/grunge/indie/emo!" And kids are like, "awwww yeah bitches, I'll so give you 2 dollars for that!" and then I get my 2 dollars and then my friend Guy says "hey man, let's go to unimart!" so I go to unimart and I see some twinkies and I'm like "hey dude I got some money!" Then I have to start the whole process over again. But eventually I save up enough money to buy cool stuff.

I have to buy two tickets, one for me and one for my sister. It'll end up being about $40 bucks (through ticketmaster). But I'm aiming for more just so I can buy a shirt.

i do this all the time.
