But you can't spoil my mood - I just got my normal 2nd row ticket to
Elvis Costello at the Ryman in March using presale. Now I don't have
to spend time on Saturday at the grocery store's Ticketmaster
location.
Only one ticket for a nice concert ? IMHO it's sad. :-(
Not really. I'll know about 30 people there (some from as far away as
Canada), and my best friend in town will be one seat over (by
coincidence). I'll also see a random number of locals that I know.
If you're worried about my love life, don't be.
"Worried" isn't a pertinent word.
Good. I'd hate to see you lose sleep or get distracted when the Missus
is in the mood.
I rarely take a date
to a concert if there are reserved tickets. Personal preference, you
see. If it's a club show with tables, that's a different story. I
really get into the music and that can be a little disconcerting to a
companion when sitting in a "concert setting", but it's no big deal if
we're sitting with friends at a table. I get better tickets going solo
as well. Don't worry, I'll be part of a pre-and-post concert get
together with a bunch of friends. Plus, I'll tell Elvis hi for you.
Since I haven't listened something from him since 78, the participation to a
pre-and-post concert would be a little bit uncomfortable for me. ;-)
I don't know what one has to do with the other.
Just so you know, he's actually done some interesting stuff since his
second album.
In fact, I think his latest album reached number one on the classical
charts (which means it probably sold 3,000 copies). He even has Jo-el
Sonier on accordion on one of his albums.
You *do* know that his keyboard player lives in your beautiful country
and lives with one of your more interesting artists, Muriel Teodori,
right? I KNOW that you won't be impressed that he's also Vanessa
Paradis' musical director though. You WILL like the fact that he
occasionally plays accordion.
