For the last few weeks...maybe even the last couple months...I have been desperately searching the internet for tickets to see Sugarland and Matt Nathanson at The Big E (a 2 week fair that's kind of a big deal around here.) The show was sold-out and all the ebay-ers and ticket brokers wanted ridiculous amounts of $$$ for tickets, and since I'm only working part-time til the end of October I couldn't really afford it. So anyway...searching for tickets up until the day of the show (which was today) and I pretty much gave up, But I decided I would just go and listen outside the arena because it's was outdoors and I could still hear everything.
This afternoon, my mom went to the fair with some friends and heard that they had released tickets. So she calls me to tell me (even though we really weren't speaking because of a fight we had Monday...but I digress) and I call the box office to see if I can buy some over the phone. Long story short (not really) they won't let me buy over the phone and my mom waits in line for me and buys me a pair a tickets. 12th row. And I do a happy dance!
I've been dying to see Sugarland forever and they put on such a fun show. And I looooooove Matt Nathanson. I liked his show just as much as Sugarland...if not more. C'mon, he sang Don't Stop Believin' by Journey. AWESOME! Plus, he's wicked charming and funny! After the show we got our CDs signed by him and he was super nice. The best part was that he knew how to spell my name...no one ever spells my name right without me spelling it for them.
So yeah...had a blast. Totally made my day!
