Topic: Got the flu blues

So the last few days I've been battling the flu. I've been off work which has been great but I did get my Christmas bonus so I ran down to the grocery store and bought my tickets to Joes show in April and it turns out the guy running the customer service desk is also on this forum too! It turns out he's seen him a few times and is also a local blues DJ. Well needless to say we backed up the line talking about Joe and his experiences at his concerts and best of all he was able to get me way better seats than I could have got online, 9 rows back on the floor!. Suddenly the flu doesn't seem so bad. Thank you customer service guy!!

Cool story Dark!  Love hearing about that kind of stuff going on.

I was going to say...Hope you enjoy the show!...but that's kind of a given, isn't it?

I got them at a Hen House market. Some grocery stores have Ticket Master centers. It's been like that here for like 20 years.

Come to think of it, it pretty much always was possible in some select stores back east,...could do EVERYTHING...don't know about here though.  Never heard of here.
