I'm going to California while SY are playing with Pearl Jam. I do not like Pearl Jam. My parents (and grandmother, who says I don't deserve anything else this summer because of our CA trip) say the only place I can see them is in SF with Pearl Suck.

Basically, help me convince them why I should see the yoof in Atlanta. I already have:

1. The tickets are EFFING TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS.
2. It's Sonic Youth, and they are my favorite band.
3. I told them that as SY's 25th year together, who knows if they'll tour next year. I'm not waiting.
4. I won't buy any merchandise or drinks/food on the way at at the venue or anywhere in Atlanta, instantly saving a crapload.
3. A hotel isn't needed. Saving money, again.

Any other reasons? Their arguments are cash, gas, and "Sonic Youth are stupid". I want to intellectually counter-act their argument and all I can think of is "stfu" and "the nineteenth is in basically three weeks stfu".

yes, i know am whiny and being kind of immature. i just want this so bad.
