Better yet, send me your ticket Al and I will go in your place seeing I live less than a 100 miles from Anaheim and you would need to fly with, in my view, an unnecessary round trip ticket price tacked on.
Although gas prices are high in So. California it wouldn't cost me near as much as a round trip ticket from New York City to L.A. and back!
I will spare you the expense if you get my drift.. hint hint.
Seriously, I have tried a couple times to scrounge a NAMM ticket but to no avail. A GC employee told me a while back that he couldn't even get a ticket for his girlfriend to go let alone an "outsider" like me.
If anybody feels a surge of emotion welling up within him or her and would like to donate their ticket you can send the care package to me - with no questions asked by the way.
I will happily and kindly except your goodwill offering and put it to good use I might add.
lol
It's going to be a spectacular show that's for sure.
Best,
Mike
