Sisters of Mercy! Woo Hoo!
It has been literally years since I went to a concert. Ages ago, back when I’d first moved back to Atlanta, and the Pet Shop Boys were touring to support their Nightlife album (which came out in — holy crap, 1999? I haven’t been to a concert in this century?). It seems like it’s time to go to another one.
Happily, this urge coincides nicely with a tour by a group I actually like:* the Sisters of Mercy! Bwahahahahahaha! They’re playing at the Roxy a week from Saturday, and I’ve got a ticket! Of course, online tickets are only through TicketBastard, apparently, which knocks the $36 up to just over $50, but it’s worth it. An ironclad reason to go out on a Saturday night, maybe even (gasp!) meet some people, and at the very least enjoy some really great music.
If anyone would like to join me, it’s Saturday, March 4, starting at 8:00 P.M. — but it’s general admission, so I’ll probably try to get in line about 5:00 or so. Maybe earlier; I’ll have to think about that. Afraid you’ll be on your own as far as paying for your ticket goes, though; the money I was going to put into savings this paycheck has now gone toward paying for mine, and I can’t afford another ticket. Sorry. I will bring snacks to share, though, if anyone wishes to come along.
Now I just need to figure out exactly where the Roxy is in relation to my flat. I know I’ve driven past it before, but I was always lost at the time. Some sort of directions would probably be in order.

*This hardly ever, ever happens. Or, if it does, I don’t find out about it until the tickets are all sold, or until after the show has already occurred. Trust me, this is a rare, rare thing.
Good grief! TicketMaster is such a rip. I am glad you have a ticket. Usually, I hear about a show two months after it.

I know how that is, definitely.
At least I’ve already got my e-ticket, and this pretty much guarantees I’ll at least pretend to have a life sometime soon. Hey, pretending is better than nothing.
