No, it’s not just you. As we are writing this, the tickets for Next have not yet been sent out. The issue? Remember that incredibly complex software that Nick Kokonas helped develop? Well, apparently it hates Internet Explorer. Talking to the Tribune, Kokonas claims that the system works on every other platform, and that he almost sent out the e-mails even though “25 percent” of the subscribers wouldn’t be able to view it. He’s apparently been up for days trying to get to work, and at 4 a.m. in this morning he actually sent Microsoft a “jokey email” saying, “Can’t your people just do something?” At this point we are wondering if we should just go wait in line in front of the restaurant.
