So the mix (99.1 WMYX) was giving away tickets to see John Mayer at Summerfest this weekend. I heard about it when they first announced it on Friday morning and then I totally forgot about it until today. So I was listening to the radio for most of the day. I missed the first offer, but then I caught the second one at 2:45.
Now, as soon as I heard they were doing this I thought, ‘25th caller? I wont even have time to dial’. I programmed their number into my contacts list. It’s under 99WMYX, so it’s the first one. To call them I have to: hold back(to unlock), press down down, talk. I figured this was foolproof, there is no way somebody is dialing that number before me.
When I heard the announcement at 2:45 I had the phone to my ear before she was even done talking. What do I get? Busy! I tried two more times out of desperation but obviously couldn’t get through.
So I realized that I have wanted these tickets since I heard he was coming back to Summerfest this year and I started looking online. They only have seats in the bleachers left. They’re not bad, $33.50 apiece, but it really starts to add up after they add in all of the extra fees. For two tickets in the bleechers and a parking pass it is $134.00. I’d really like to go, but I guess it’s a little late to decide to go now. Plus I don’t know who I’d go with.
This is the one concert that I would like to go see though.
“Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you’re really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I’ve got a few missing. It’s ok though, because I’ve got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8-color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation… so when I meet someone who’s an 8-color type… I’m like, hey girl, magenta! and she’s like, oh, you mean purple! and she goes off on her purple thing, and I’m like, no – I want magenta!”
