Day 128:
This has nothing to do with tonight’s photo, but I am SOOOOOOOO Happy
right now. For those not in the LA / Orange County area, every year for the
past... oh... 15 years now KROQ (106.7fm) has had an annual Christmas
concert called: “Almost Acoustic Christmas” and these tickets are hard to
come by. Well about a month ago they made the announcement about
this years concert. First they announced the first nights line-up. It’s usually
the more “aggressive” night. A few interesting bands listed. Here they are
as follows (in the order they will be playing, 1st to last):
Paramore
Angels & Airwaves
Serj Tankian (singer of System Of A Down)
Rise Against
Avenged Sevenfold
Bad Religion
Linkin Park
The following day they announced the second nights line-up. Sheri and
I had been racking our brains trying to guess who would be a part of the
show and we both had our must for the show and as they played their
little opening we anxiously wanted. Then it happened. The second we
heard the vocals, we went nuts. It was Muse!!! Sheri and I saw them
back in April (2007) and had the concert experience of a lifetime. If you
even are a casual listener of Muse then you HAVE to see them live. I
cannot express that enough. You won’t be disappointed. Anyway...
Here’s that nights line-up (in the order they will be playing, 1st to last):
Spoon
Feist
Silversun Pickups
The Shins
Modest Mouse
Jimmy Eat World
Muse
So after the announcements they tell us that information is coming soon on when the tickets go on sale. The rest of the week went by and then the weekend and finally on
that Monday they said the date. It would be 3 more weeks until the tickets went on sale.
Which is only 2 days and 3 days prior to the concerts. Insane! You also had to be a member of their Street Team (which I’ve been for almost 2 years now and it’s helped
getting tickets before the general public on other concerts we’ve been to.) in order to
buy tickets. So we wait and as the days pass by and then to the point where it was
only hours and then minutes away. I stayed so positive about getting tickets. I tested
seeing if I could get Night One tickets and I tried as soon as it hit 5pm and I didn’t
make it. Less than 1 minute and they were sold out. Not good. Then 6pm came around
and was time to try for Night Two. The night we wanted. My hearts pounding and I’m so
focused and what ended up happening?
I got two tickets to Night Two!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
I can’t believe I got tickets. I’m so happy and can’t wait to go. Okay, I’m done. :D
