Let me Whine and Cry...just a little

Waaaaahhhhhhhh! :*( Did you hear that? Wwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! :*(

Here's the deal.
Aerosmith (my all time favorite-to-die-for band, duh!) is playing at Fenway Park in Boston in August. (so far the only US tour date announced). I have tons and tons of my friends that are going...it is going to be off the hook as far as meeting (face to face) some long time friends,
BUT
(yes there is always that nasty word "BUT" in there, dammit!)
I can't do it. :*(

I have decided (against my screaming gut that is saying "just do it") that I just cannot fork out that much dough to see a show that really isn't gonna be a show...or a show worth that kind of $$ ... to me (IMO) ...

WTF? Let me explain...lol
They are playing at a Red Sox game...so I can almost guarantee that it won't be a full fledge "concert". I have no idea how many songs will be played or anything like that, but I am assuming it is not going to be like a normal show. So, add that to the outrageous price of tickets, travel to get there, and the cost of staying...we are talking mega $$$ - which I don't have :( well, let's put it this way...even if I did have it, I can't take the chance of spending that kind of money and then maybe get cancelled on ... hey, in all fairness, it has happened to me (only local shows though)
Why can't I be rich instead of so damn good looking?? :P

I have considered it, though...due to all the great people that are going to be there, some that I have already met (f2f) and some that I would love to meet, and after all it IS Aerosmith...in their hometown!! Considered saying "fuck it", not feeding my kids for two months (lol), and just doing it... but I can't. bring. myself. to do it...even though I really really REALLY want to...

Therefore, my heart is heavy. I know I will be missing out. but I have to be responsible and logical...and just keep hoping that another show on this "mini-tour in the US" will be close to me.
*SIGH*

Have fun my Aero-friends, hopefully this poor chic will see you on the road sometime this summer! somewhere within driving distance, preferably.

Did I mention that a "wheels up" pkg is being sold through the fan club? Yeah, you get to MEET ST and JP...for only a meer $1349.00!!!! o_O Now, before you have a cow, this ticket IS, afterall, in the first three rows. and you get a 5 sec pass thru with the guys...yeah, so worth it
Sheesh! NOT! (well, it would be if someone just GAVE me one!) ;)
I think I'll just hold out and try to meet them for free (or not at all) and keep hoping they come near me. DAMN...I need to buy a lottery ticket. : /

I am truly happy for my friends that are going. They are coming from all over the place for this show. BUT (there it is again) if I see one more person post on facebook about their damn tickets to this show...I think I might puke my guts out!

Waaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! :*(

(don't worry...i will live...and I feel better already cuz I got most of it out of my system!) ;)

A few years back I decided I really wanted to see The Eagles. But they are one of the most expensive tickets out there. They were wanting something like $160 for the nose bleeds and $250 for good seats. I did the ButButBut... game for a while and then couldn't see myself forking over the money. So, I didn't go.

Fast forward six months: they decide to do a benefit with the Dixie Chicks. I got to see them (17th row on the Center FLOOR!) for about $80.

Dreams do come true.

Here's hoping Aerosmith comes to a town near you soon. Maybe they'll do a benefit!
