They aren't necessarily going to a show; since this is about vacation autoresponders they may very well be going to the airport

 In the title text Cueball shouts out (in all caps) to the autoresponder "I admire how you set boundaries and I hope your colleagues respect them! Please spare my life!"  He therefore thinks it is a ''good'' idea to have time away from work where you cannot be contacted by your colleagues.
-It is unclear if the autoresponder is a human or a robot, but the open-faced helmet reveals the fringe and neck-length hair generally seen on female characters, although for instance [[Megan]]'s hair is usually longer and not so messy as this creature. This would be reminiscent of the [[:Category:Android|Android series]], especially [[600: Android Boyfriend]], where one of the androids moves past its owner. It may also be a reference to ''Homestuck'', a webcomic which features an autoresponder as a real, living being.

-[[Cueball]] and [[White Hat]] are going to some kind of show (a movie or concert, perhaps), and Cueball asks White Hat if he is ready to go, who affirms this but asks for Cueball to email him the tickets before they go.
+[[Cueball]] and [[White Hat]] are going somewhere in need of tickets (a concert, the airport, etc.), and Cueball asks White Hat if he is ready to go, who affirms this but asks for Cueball to email him the tickets before they go.
 When Cueball does this he apparently opts to send them to White Hat's work email address. When White Hat is not at work, he has an {{w|autoresponder}} activated that tells people to not disturb him as he is not at work. Usually this means that his email server sends an automatic response telling the sender of the mail that he is not at work, and not to expect an immediate reply.
