&lt;p&gt;Going to concerts is too difficult. It’s not the day of the event itself; that’s fine. The difficulty for me is staying on top of the concert listings channels (typically aggregators) like &lt;a href="http://www.ohmyrockness.com/index.cfm" target="_blank"&gt;Oh My Rockness&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.tourfilter.com/boston" target="_blank"&gt;Tourfilter&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="http://www.songkick.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Songkick&lt;/a&gt;. I use all three services regularly, and even still, I miss…&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Allowing the clothes of the messenger (a uniform, a suit and tie, a hat) to influence your perception of the information he delivers (add gender, fame, age and race to this too).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Feynman" target="_blank"&gt;Richard Feynman&lt;/a&gt; talks about his ability to evaluate statements from messengers , whether it was his cab driver or a 5 star general he was consulting.  The key is not to fake it and to be confident in what you do know.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.thegetdownguy.com/post/613232228</link><guid>http://www.thegetdownguy.com/post/613232228</guid><pubDate>Wed, 19 May 2010 10:11:00 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>fred-wilson:
