So last night, my friend and I were going to see Bobby Long @ Arlene's Grocery. If you do a little research, you'll quickly find out why. We met @ our normal Borders Penn Plaza to exchange books, b/c she's reading some of the ones I have. So I get there a little early, and hear a scalper "Dave Tickets." JP's concert ears perk up, and I think oh, dave?! I've never seen dave!! Maybe someone will give us tix for free!! So I go and listen to my podcast and wait on my friend. She arrives a few minutes later, and we're both at the same time "So do you want to see if there are any tix for Dave tonight?." So naturally, we walk a whole 10 feet to Madison Square Garden and see that there are tix, but people have mysterious cards when buying the tickets. We fumble around for 20 minutes, then find teh magical ticket line. There are about 20 people in front of us. We decide we may as well get in line, forget Bobby Long, if we don't get DMB tix, we'll just go down the street and eat at a killer macaroni and cheese joint.
We get in teh line and moves a quickly, then we get stuck with seven people in front of us. We stand for about an hour and a half. The line barely moves. Then we see the line controler talking on his phone. He gave away five tickets. This brings us within three of the magical card to get us tickets. About five minutes later, we manage to get a ticket in our hand, go buy tickets, and end up having the second to last row in teh first section of the FLOOR!!!! Holy cow. We were shocked. There may have been some squeeing and jumping up and down.
Our seats were stellar. I'd never seen DMB. And we didn't even know he was playing in town 6 hours before. Turns out we'd landed floor seats to the first show of the DMB tour the day their brand new CD came out in Madison Square freakin Garden. And they played TWO STEP! AKA the song I've been dying to hear live......
HOLY COW!!!! ONLY IN NEW YORK CITY!
