Trying To Buy Tickets To Coloinals Weekend As Told By Jon Stewart Gifs

Alarm set, credit card information at the ready and then it happens: #Vendinigate

9:55am : Ready to pounce and ready to brag.

Comedy Central

students.gwu.edu/jonstewart is loaded and you’re ready to buy your tickets. you can’t wait to insta/tweet/fb update/carrier pigeon a picture of your tickets to all of your friends

10:01am : The expected freeze.

Comedy Central

it’s okay. i’m okay. websites always freeze for a few seconds right when tickets go on sale…right?

10:04am : It’s working!…Kind of.

Comedy Central

YES. I was able to choose which show I want. that’s a good sign. the next page will load. do not take your eyes off the screen.

10:07am: Frozen again.

Comedy Central

why is it still frozen? what’s happening? is it my internet? were my friends able to buy tickets? what’s happening? did it sell out? should I make a joke about Elsa?

10:11am: IT LOADED

Comedy Central

FINALLY. time to choose some seats. I hope they don’t suck, but they probably will because THE PAGE WOULDN’T LOAD. but at least I’ll be able to hear Jon?

10:14am : Why did the page reload?

Comedy Central

Vendini kicked me off. the fucking nerve. who runs Vendini? whoever they are, fuck them.

10:18am : Now it won’t reload.

Comedy Central

Command + R. Command + R. Command + R. WHAT THE FUCK VENDINI. why is there a picture of a spilled cup of coffee?

10:21am : Still. Not. Loading.

Comedy Central

maybe I should tweet at GW, or maybe Peter K? what did i do to vendini to deserve this? why can’t i go see jon?

(metaphorical) heads are going to roll for this.

10:24am : Vendini hates us.

Comedy Central

this is officially worse than banweb on registration day. i thought vendini and i were friends; she (he?) gave me tickets to RBG, Stephen Colbert & POTUS, now this.

10:27am : GW tweets.

Comedy Central

ok so they know this is happening. why can’t i buy them over the phone? wtf is up with that, GW/Vendini?. i need a drink. hey, @GWTIx is nice.

10:30am : All sales temporarily suspended.

Comedy Central

time to neurotically check my twitter in case sales come back online. I expect an apology from GW for using vendini, the ticket sales company that RUINED IT ALL.

10:45am : The Deans are tweeting.

Comedy Central

I can't fucking take this. stfu, Peter K; you're going to get a ticket no matter what. stop it right now.

11:00am : An hour in. Still no tickets.

Comedy Central

is the internet really THAT hard? surely someone at vendini or gw can fix this.

typical gw (i say while not actually having anything to compare this to, so i guess it's really not typical).

11:15am: No update. No tickets.

Comedy Central

ok maybe i overreacted a little. this isn’t GW’s fault, they don’t control the internet. i still don’t even know what happened. but i still want my tickets. and i still hate vendini.

11:30am : The internal debate.

Comedy Central

maybe i shouldn’t be paying so much anyway? maybe I should just give up and hope someone sells their ticket. LOL who am i kidding, it’s JON STEWART. he’s worth the $$$. but these ticket should be free now, and vendini should pay.

11:45am : No tickets, no happiness.

Comedy Central

my anger has turned to madness. as in so sad that i'm going crazy. i should be crying, but i'm laughing. i hope i get tickets. know that i tried, jon.

12:00pm : Ticket sales suspended indefinitely.

Comedy Central

well, vendini, you have officially ruined GW’s and my day. so fuck you. gw gave you ONE job.

12:01pm : The heartbreak sets in.

Comedy Central

I just wanted to see Jon. that’s all I wanted. i just wanted to be in the same room as the silver sexy fox. that’s not too crazy a request, is it?

12:30pm: Just keep reloading.

Comedy Central

if Dory could keep swimming, I can keep reloading. how has it been 2+ hours with no resolution??? this is now officially a conspiracy.

1:00pm : We should protest!

Comedy Central

What do we want? Jon Stewart tix! When do we want them? NOW! #wearethe99 #fthejonstewarthaters

1:15pm : Why am I still looking at this screen?

Comedy Central

that’s it. that’s all i can think about. why am i still staring at this fucking screen?

1:45pm : Faith starting to restore.

Comedy Central

ok be realistic. gw is a good school, we employ smart people. we broke the internet but they’ll fix it.

but vendini is still and forever on my shit list.

2:05pm : Restored faith turns to apathy turns to rage

Comedy Central

that's it. it's be more than 4 hours. fuck this. i don't NEED to see jon stewart. i could do something else for FREE that night.

... but i don't want to. i hate you, vedini.

The GW community may never know the who, what, why, or how of this fateful day, but it will stay with us forever.
