Re: Borderline Ticket

can't believe it!! smile
in case, this is really happening to me, there must be some kind of fortune!! big_smile

@nancy: THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! really!! love traveling to the uk to see & hear good gigs, meet up with old and new friends! smile london is worth the traveling everytime, combined with a joe- gig (NO, with THIS joe-gig) it will be a great time!!

@pete: THANKS AGAIN for reacting sooo fast wink xxx

thanks again!! still can't stop smiling smile smile

Re: Borderline Ticket

Thank you all for the kind words. As of this morning the ticket is on the first leg of it's journey across the pond.

@Pete...Thanks for jumping in immediately and having your antennas up for your ticketless friend. Well played!

@RickB Thank you so much for offering to take on the responsibility of giving the ticket wings to get to it's new owner. Made it so much easier and less worrisome for me.

And @Kath...the tone of your post gave me shivers. London is very dear to me as well. I have been many times, for many reasons...even fell crazy, mad in love there once. So yes, this particular Joe gig was something I was over the top excited about...London...the small venue...oh dear, I think I'm getting teary..
Anyway, Kath, You are exactly the person I wished to have this ticket to take my place at Borderline. You are the person I was thinking of when I wrote here yesterday morning. Please enjoy (and rock out) for me!

Yesterday morning I could not have imagined that there was much about not being able to go other than that it just plain sucked. Today I can honestly say I feel happy and content about all of it! As I told Rickb in our emailing----

The Borderline gig will be...even for me, not being able to attend...a more special event, made possible by something that money could have never bought. You guys are something else!

...thanks again Nancy! ...your ticket could not be in better hands than Ricks! ...i just happened to click on the site while sitting at some extra long tedious London traffic lights! ...i always say whats meant to be will be,whats not is not! ...so glad i was able to jump in and help save Kath's day! ...wish i could jump in and help all my other much loved Bonabuds and get them to this so much desired gig... but,but,but!!!

...your a fully paid up member of the Bonafold and i truly hope we in some way,in the future,can readdress the kindness of your gesture! ...i know you are not wanting that,but,its just BonaBalance! wink

Re: Borderline Ticket

Yes, Way2optimistic, what a wonderful thing to do and I know that it must be bittersweet~ I tried to do the same thing for Joe's Hawaii gig last fall.  We had the tickets for months and then a couple of weeks before the show we couldn't go, but we had no takers and now the tickets are just sitting there in my drawer.  It would have been so much better for them to have been a blessing to someone~  Thank you so much for being such a generous soul~~

Nice gesture.  Bittersweet to see someone do it and I can't...

But, Way2optimistic person-a round of applause for your attitude, your creation of gratitude for someone.  Your words and your actions align well.  Thanks for being...way too optimistic.  A too optimistic world sounds a lot better to me than a too much pissymystic world!

You ROCK!


Rock On & Keep the Faith,

Re: Borderline Ticket

Way2go W2o!!!  Love this place every day new surprises! I received an email from a friend the day after he saw Joe for the 1st time at Rupp Arena in May it was just one word  "magical" I believe the magic goes beyond the stage. I tell my friends about stories like this and they are amazed. All you have to do is randomly look around different sections here and you can run across acts of kindness from just a small gesture to a grand one like this. And its not just caring & generosity amongst fans there's plenty of stories from Joe and J & R too. It's hard to explain the full depth of it to your friends you just have to be here to experience it smile 

Thank you W2o for the wonderful surprise and he huge smile on my face! And Kath I look forward to meeting you in London! Pete & Rick you guys rock cool

Re: Borderline Ticket

I just have to say thank you again to all of you for the kind words and good vibe you've provided me. If you google the definition of bittersweet today, I'm quite certain my picture will pop up beside it.

RickB, Pete and Kath...enjoy, enjoy, enjoy! I think tomorrow at about noon PST I'm gonna go out and "find me a proper drink" and raise a toast to all of you! Cheers!

Re: Borderline Ticket

And I am sure we will raise a toast to you tomorrow in the wee venue.
