Ticketmaster Day Again

10 a.m. concert ticket purchase to be made this morning. It's so nerve-wracking, isn't it? Luckily, I'm not going for floor seats, which always makes it all the more intense. There's a whole theory that waiting until 10:10 a.m. is better, because some people are on there just to see what kind of tickets are available, then theirs are released so you can get better than you got at 10. But sometimes, like this same artist last week, the concert sells out in two minutes and you're screwed. Two minutes? This ain't U2, people. And no small venue either.

Why so secretive? I don't want any more competition getting seats for this thing. :-)

Cathy's coming for the weekend. Woohoo! We're going to try to tear Scotty away from work long enough to have a margarita with us on Skype Saturday night.
