Phish fans get Kreft’d?
March 1, 2009
Telluride Daily Planet:
You could call this Phishing for Phish fans.
More than a dozen Phish fans were outraged Thursday when an online ticket broker with ties to Telluride told them he couldn’t supply them with tickets, and he couldn’t refund them their money.
They said Justin Kreft, a Montrose resident who works in Telluride, used eBay to auction tickets to the jam band’s reunion show in Virginia next week. He took thousands of dollars off their credit or debit cards, they said, then shut down his e-mail and didn’t return phone calls.
The Telluride Marshals Department said Kreft is being investigated for felony computer crime. Reached at the offices of Telluride Limo, a company he started that is similar to Mountain Limo, Kreft declined to talk. His lawyer, Denver’s Mark Kraynak, said he thought Kreft would be “entirely exonerated.” But in a letter to those who bought tickets, Kreft admits something went wrong. (more…)

Sunday Jazz — “Take FIve”
March 1, 2009
Another installment of Sunday Jazz is upon us. We’re focusing on Dave Brubeck’s saxophonist, Paul Desmond’s composed song, “Take Five”. First recorded by the Dave Brubeck quartet in 1959, the song became a hit in 1961. Once Desmond passed in 1977, all proceeds from the song go to the American Red Cross. (Repost)
