AUTHOR: tbooty DATE: 9/20/2004 07:47:00 PM ----- BODY: first i'd like to apologize to my loyal (albeit small) readership for not updating recently. i haven't really had anything to say lately. be it because my life is that boring (no, that's not it.) or because i just haven't found anything worthy of writing about (that sounds more like it.) anyways, this may not be totally worthy, but it's something. many of you know that i'm going to las vegas (or lost wages as my dad calls it) over halloween weekend. i'm going with a good friend from here and meeting my best friend from high school and i CAN'T. WAIT! it's going to be a total blast just hanging with the girls, but if that wasn't enough, we're seeing ELTON JOHN in concert while we're there. how freakin' cool is that? (i know. it's pretty damn cool.) anyways, those were the extent of my "planned" activities for next month. until last friday that is. why you ask? let me tell you...... first, my friend (we'll call him "pool boy" and he's not to be confused with "river boy") im'ed me and says "what did you decide about the van hagar concert?" (i shouldn't have to explain "van hagar", but i know someone will ask. van halen is coming to town with sammy hagar as the singer instead of diamond david lee roth. hence, van hagar.) now, some friends that i work with and i were contemplating going to the concert, but no-one had gotten back to me. pool boy was looking at the website and trying to decide how much he wanted to spend. long story short, we ended up getting seats in like row 15 or so. very cool! i'm all excited. but wait, there's more....... my friend that i work with had been telling me that the scorpions and tesla were also coming to town. i thought that sounded like fun and asked if i could crash and go with. she said sure, so now i've got 3 concerts and a trip to go to. very cool! again, i'm all excited. but wait, there's more....... river boy and i had discussed going to the queensryche concert here. wasn't sure if that was gonna happen or not, but friday it all came together and now i have tickets for THAT concert too! ok. 4 concerts and a trip to vegas all in the same month. well, there's 31 days in the month, that should be doable, right? well. here are the dates of these events. queensryche 10/5 ~ no problem on that one scorpions/tesla 10/21 ~ thursday nite. no issues van halen 10/22 ~ you read that right. back to back concerts leave for vegas 10/28 ~ no issue with that elton john 10/29 ~ that's what no doze is for right? the worst part will be going to work on the 22nd and knowing that i have another concert to go to that night. it'll be totally worth it, but i'm beginning to think that i'm crazy! i'll catch you up on the rest of what's going on soon. i promise. --------
