I'm finally getting it
Posted: 21 Jul 2007 03:19Since the tour has been announced, I've almost been in a small fog. I've seen this board go from rather small, to something huge. It's been sooo cool to see all the postings from members who have already seen shows, reviews, pic's etc. I never posted because I was awestuck reading and looking at it all. To be honest, I was a little detached from it, as it was too far for me to be apart of. I was actually kinda proud of myself for not acting like it was Christmas morning every day. I felt it, but I never showed it. I really believed that I had matured now that I'm in my 30's.
I also never stressed about not having tickets for Toronto yet. I was gonna go to the shows and just buy from a scalper. Then the other night a friend gave me a local classified website. I found a person selling a floor ticket for 220 or best offer, and she was willing to deliver. As soon as I saw that, I started to get a wee bit excited. I was still maintaining my composure to a degree at the point that I emailed her. She emailed back saying she still had the ticket. When I got that email, I literally almost hit the roof. I was finally feeling what you all have been feeling. I know that, because I never made an offer on the ticket, in fact I told her she should not lose money and that I would pay the 240. And she didn't have to deliver, I would meet her half way.
On the drive to the meetup, I started getting an almost high feeling. The speedometer kept creeping up, till I saw I was doing 90 mph. I tried to slow down, but every time I looked, I was speeding, you know who cranking through the sound system. On the way home I set the cruise control, that allowed me to keep looking at the ticket. I almost attached the seat belt on it (hahhaha, jk)
So here I am, two days away from the first time I will ever see the Police, and I'm going stark raving mad now, but in a good way. I honestly think that Sunday and Monday might be the happiest days of my life to this point. Unbelievable, just un fucking believable. I finally hit the place you all are at, and it's awesome! Take care all.
