tickets!!!

This is so exciting, seriously, things like this don’t happen to me! I won tickets to Live 8!!!! All week I’ve been complaining cuz most people got their texts to tell them that they won on Monday, and then all these tickets went on sale for way too much money on ebay and there was this whole big fuss. It really annoyed me because we had been texting all last week and really wanted to win, really wanted to go to the concert and have the experience, but all that these people wanted was to make money. Seriously some people had tickets on there for 500 pounds or more. And they all had excuses and whatever, but honestly, who doesn’t look at their calendar to at least check that they can go before trying for tickets? Anyways, I was really annoyed and feeling sad that I wouldn’t be able to go, when I turned on my phone today (Wednesday) and there it was, my winning text!!! And these tickets are definitely not for sale! So here’s the deal, this huge concert in Hyde Park, with almost every incredible band or performer in the world. I get to see Paul McCartney, U2, REM, Madonna, Coldplay, Elton John, Pink Floyd, Velvet Revolver, Robbie Williams, Joss Stone, Stereophonics, Scissor Sisters, Snow Patrol…Even when I think about it, it’s too much. I always forget about one of the major bands and then think, wow, I’m going to see them too! Needless to say I am very excited! And it just happens to fall on July 2nd. I finish my great big placement on July 1st, which is also Canada Day, a fun night out at the Maple Leaf Pub in Covent Garden, and then Live 8 the next day. The best weekend ever! I can’t wait!!!
