Yes sir it will be. Intresting story. I told her this morning im working on something for us for tonight. I missed an opportunity on stubhub to get the tickets and thought i was out of luck. Since i missed out thinking it was sold out and unwilling to pay 250 for those left on stubhub she asked me what it was and i told her. Also told her how much i was willing to spend. She said no worries since it seemed too much. I said alright. We planned something else. Then the thought of calling ticket master poped into my head. Called them up and they found me two seats since im an american express member! Close seats at the retail price at 140 each! So i call my GF back up and say hey i have a different surprise planned out since we missed out on the concert so scrap the plans we made. Shes excited now and little does she know we are going to it :)

Oh nice, very cool that you were able to get good seats for cheap after all! Like they say, keep tryin'! I'm sure you guys will enjoy the concert. ^_^

Two whole days without your super saturated pics? How in the world are we going to stay blind? Hahaha.

ahahah don't worry alex, 2 whole days of no saturated pix will be compensated with 1 whole week of saturated pix after that :p

Thanks man! Yeah the thought popped into my head because ticket master doesnt release all tickets for sale on the intial first day. They keep releasing portions of it right up to the day of the event. This way it stops scalpers from buying them up and out pricing the little guys :)

You must mean the "Dork Side," so puny you get knocked over by a near miss.

lunch time, hi everyone

Linch? Just back from breakfast (on Saturday) down here...

Stealthy Ninja wrote in post #10884897 (external link)
Not "Ahoy Ahoy" it's "Ahoy-hoy" :p

I've seen every simpsons episode (expect the Tracy Ulman stuff... that stuff sucks).

Correct and correct.

FWIW, I had "sweep the leg" as my ringtone for months. Great song.


cheers, juice (Canon shooter, Elinchrom lighter, but pretty much agnostic on brands.)

Just got back from the concert. She was totally surprised. Marc Anthony knows how to put on a great show! Totally worth it!
