Revived and invigorated from Saturday night's show with The Seeger Sessions Revival we jumped on the Dart train to get a number before the first roll call early on Sunday morning.

Show day #3! After as sturdy breakfast we went to the venue quite early to see if Ticketmaster would have any GA tickets for sale. The only GA offered online were “verified resale” ticket for about $2000. We had a nice chat with the security guard while waiting for the box office to open at... Continue Reading →
Showday #2! We left our hotel quite early. I had pointed out to my boyfriend that we didn’t have to go so early this time since we had seats and there’s really no point in queuing. However, he said that he wanted to go to the arena to soak in the surroundings and get the... Continue Reading →
