concert curse

here, in my little hands, i have tickets to see ryan adams. well, not this very moment for i am typing, but they're close by. it's been a dream/goal/whatever of mine for some time now to see ryan, heather nova and REM. and i'm this much closer to part of that must do list. i can't help but think that something will happen between now and may. i seem to have this concert curse looming over head.

*free tickets to see REM
that got lost in the mail
*tickets purchased for another REM tour
our stop was cancelled
*tickets to see dido at this tiny bar
freak snowstorm and we can't make it
*tickets to see the dixie chicks
cancelled
*britney spears for ms. b's christmas gift
postponed, rescheduled, cancelled
*fifth row for christina aguilera
tour cancelled
*two tickets to shawn colvin
couldn't find anyone free, didn't go
*driving six hours west with B to see eminem
to find out the show had been cancelled


i have this plan that i've been sitting on for a few weeks now. i'm still unsure if i even want to put it in motion. i know that if i do, chances of me being able to even attend the concert are cut in half. and yes, i had that in the back of my mind as i was buying the tickets. but i wanted to hold onto hope that i will finally be in the same room as ryan adams. so we'll see how it goes.
