always the opposite
I’ve been wanting to go to see Kt Tunstall since late Feb. I’ve posted several times and have had no interest. My entire history with concert tickets, i always get screwed. I bet I’ve lost 4 tori tickets to people who have bailed and I can’t get rid of my ticket…. 2 tegan and sara tickets etc, So now I’m completely gun shy. I just can’t afford to throw out money right now after buying two plane tickets to california, paying for hotel, rental car, etc. I just couldn’t see throwing out $30 because i couldn’t sell them.
Last night I figured I’d just go there by myself, mabye meet some cool people to talk to, and listen to some good music. Steve called late last night and said he could make it now, I log on ticketmaster and what do you fucking know.. its sold out. Of course! This is the price I pay for trying to avoid the situations of my past. Yup, now i’m flipping mad. Not only am I completely high on hormones from this time of the month, I’m mad and sad at the same time. Right now as I”m typing this I’m about to start crying. UGH.
Of course, I check my myspace mail and Walt and Suzie also want to go now. So I emailed them back saying “thanks for telling me the day of the show, but now its sold out”.
So here I am. Ticketless, mad, sad, and its Thursday. I went to bed with a migraide and now its coming back. I’d decided to do something i haven’t ever done and just go there anyway early and try to nab myself a ticket. I’ve never bought one this way, but hopefully there is some nice person out there that has an extra ticket. Or, I’ll just be more angrier when I get home.
I’m so sorry that the show turned out that way! What I’ve done in the past for things that were really important to me to see… I just tell myself upfront - “I’m going to do this”, get myself a ticket and go… then I can’t be mad at myself or anyone else. If it’s general admission and I find someone later, great… if not, then it’s okay too. I think I’m going to get myself a ticket for Miranda Lambert (country), she’s playing at the Intersection in GR. It’s a Thursday, so I’m sure no one else will want to go… and most people don’t really like country anyway. I met a really nice girl at a show I went to alone last year! Besides it will give me an opportunity to wear my hot pink cowgirl hat again! Whahoo! lol
