In case you haven’t seen it all over Twitter or Facebook (heh), this is where I’m going next Sunday with Mike…
I am SO. FREAKING. PSYCHED!
This will be Mike’s 10th time seeing Disturbed. (Not necessarily on purpose; they have just happened to play at several festivals — Ozzfest, Mayhem, etc. — that he’s been to over the last several years.) He promised me about 5 or 6 years ago (when he’d only seen them maybe 2-3 times) that he would take me to see them. For a whole variety of reasons, it never happened.
It was really purely a whim when Mike told me to check the dates that Avenged Sevenfold and Disturbed were playing. (I don’t think he realized it was a “fest”; I know I didn’t.) When we saw all the bands that will be playing … well, it was just a MUST.
Sunday, we stopped at Giant Eagle’s Ticketmaster counter to pick up the tickets. Mike stayed in the car with Little Man (we were on our way home from church) while I ran in to get them. Again, on a whim, I asked the clerk to check if there were any good seats left at a reasonable price (I was assuming most of the good tickets would be gone with only a week till the show). We would have been just as happy with lawn tickets, but I managed to get seats in the front of section 200 (dead-center)!
The best part? Seeing Mike’s face when I went back out to the car and told him the seats I got. Total jaw-drop reaction. It completely made my day!
