Memberships can be funny things. Eleanor and I attended a local folk concert over the winter, part of a series that had been running since the previous fall. Not being the type to steal from a fellow folkie (and seeing at least one bankruptcy trustee in the audience), we made no effort to get any discount off the non-member price we'd paid online. Dude at the door refused- insisting that the difference in price more than entitled us to the remainder of the year's membership, and threatening to refund us two bucks until I insisted back that he keep it as a donation. It did get us on the mailing list, though, and there's at least one upcoming show (some former 10,000 Maniacs alums in a vocal group called Girls Gone Mild) that we now know of, and will probably see, as a result.
