Call it what you want but sometimes good things just happen and things turn out the way you hoped they would when you least expected them to.
This is twofold for me tonight. Let me tell you about one of them!
You see, me and my buddies have seen the Tragically Hip in concert on several occasions. When he band announced some shocking news a few months ago, everyone got their hopes up to see them in concert on their farewell tour. I was willing to travel to Edmonton, possibly Calgary or even Winnipeg to catch a show. Unfortunately all shows were sold out within about a minute making it nearly impossible to get tickets without having to pay an arm and a leg to see them. Frustrated, I'd almost given up. Occasionally I'd check ticketmaster to see if any tickets had been released knowing full well that 1000's of other fans would be doing the same.
Well, tonight was my night. As I'm uploading a Hip cd to my computer, I figure I'd check to see if anything has changed. And guess what? Yup, on a Saturday night, 15 days before their show, a hundred or so tickets were released!
A quick text to my buddies and next thing I'm doing is clicking secure my purchase and making plans to see the Hip in Edmonton. And to boot, they're sweet, lower bowl, centre ice tickets!
I CAN'T WAIT!
DB!
