Hoorah!

So, we managed to get not-so-great tickets to the first July Police show in Toronto when they went on sale, but were hoping that they might announce another show so we could try for better seats. (Well, there was a second July show announced, but when we found out about it, a mere two hours after it went on sale, it was already sold out.)

Today, tickets for a third show in November went on sale, so armed with our trusty Best Buy codes, the sweetie did battle with ticketmaster's website, and emerged with freaking awesome seats. Very, very cool.

I'm sooo not going to think about what I'm spending to see them, but totally jazzed I'll be seeing them twice in one year. (I just hope they manage not to kill each other before November.)

So...any luck with Van Halen tickets? After all, David Lee Roth *has* rejoined the band... ;-)

Har dee har.

And besides, didn't you hear? When it came down to the wire, Eddie Van Halen refused to sign the contract and the whole tour fell apart.

Mind you, I'm sure there's a pool somewhere on how long it'll take for Sting to throw a punch at Stewart. Or vice versa.

Clearly I'm not following the Van Halens nearly as closely as I should. I'd remembered hearing about the tour and went on Wikipedia to confirm Roth was involved. You can't always trust the Wiki. Let this be a lesson to us all.

I think it only just fell apart a day or two ago. Don told me, and we were joking about it, and how long The Police would be able to hold it together, last night.

Congrats on the second round tickets!

Sorry the Big Guy couldn't get a second pair just as good.

I'm totally pumped, though.

The Big Guy deserves major props. The codes tickets sell out very quickly, according to what I've heard.

And yeah...November. Long time from now.

He definitely went above and beyond the call. Very exciting.

Assuming the tour doesn't fall apart, of course. *g*
