soooo....

it's 7:12am.
i just spent the last 12 minutes nervously working two browswers as i purchased tickets for the 5th on one and the 6th on the other

{safari, i neglect you for your sassier sister, firefox, except when on my iphone where i have no chioce, but i was grateful for your presence today}

since i recently got new debit cards, there was a hiccup in one of the searches and when my card didn't work {i forgot the card number had changed about a year ago when i left it in an atm and got entirely new cards} i lost my ticket altogether. a subsequent search couldn't find ANY tickets on the 6th and i realized how much i wanted this trip and both shows to boot, when it appeared the 6th wasn't available.

stubborn me kept searching and searching and on the 3rd or 4th try i came up with seats again {while still juggling the different pages on the other web page--you only have so much time to complete each section of ticketmaster's pages}. whew.

the nice thing is that thom is finally doing something about scalping. this is a paperless ticket tour so you don't get a ticket. you have to show up at the boxoffice and show your ID and the credit card and that's the only way you'll get in. and even then, they don't give you a ticket you can then turn around and sell, that's just how you get in. :)

so yipee.
i'm going to nyc.
and thanks dagob, john, az, holly and liz for the nudges.
i needed them.

and here's to living life in pursuit of seeing and MAKING great art.
