Oh yeah, it's wednesday.

And it's a good thing. I seem to have gotten up in a better mood this morning. Must have something to do with NOT having to get gas this morning.
So, Panic Red rocks pre-sale happened this morning. How did we do you ask?? Well we got two for saturday night and that was it. We still need friday night, and sunday afternoon tickets and then one more for Saturday for a friends birthday. There is another pre-sale tomorrow though the local radio station, so i will try again there for tickets before main on sale on Saturday. Yesterday my boyfriend called and asked what we should do for the Kansas City Shows and that there were tickets on pre-sale on Panic's site yesterday. I thought they would last a while, so I said not to worry about it and we would just get them when i got home. Well then common sense kicked in and I started trying for tickets. We got two for the Tuesday night show, but the wednesday night show was already out of pre-sales. Those are going to be gotten on Saturday as well.. this is the cycle of the music fan. Buy tickets, wait, see show, get back from shows, buy tickets again, wait again....Welcome to my world.
That's it, just laying low today...
