Tues Ticket Alert: Police at Fenway, Spoon, Ponys, Rilo Kiley, Cure

Five things that will get your face smashed in on Lansdowne Street the weekend after next:

• Being the 5,000,001st person to get in a cop's face and yell, "What are you doing out here? Aren't you in the Police?!"
• Being the 5,000,002nd person to walk by a cop yelling, "Police! Help! I need the Police!"
• Being the 5,000,003rd person to sidle up to the fireman with the charity boot and say, "Hey, didn't you used to be in the Police?"
• Being the 5,000,004th person to tap a cop on the shoulder and say, "I never thought I'd hear myself say this, but do you got any tickets?"
• Being the 5,000,005th person to walk by a cop and yell, "Fuck the Police!" and then, in a stage whisper, "I mean the band."
