Hopes for tonight

Led Zeppelin is playing tonight at a venue that's about 3 km from my house. Of course I don't have a ticket, which were only being sold through a lottery, and then at a prohibitive price of 125 pounds! I had been bold and registered for the lottery anyway, but my luck, like always, did not fail to let me down. (Keep in mind that I like to sometimes say "If it weren't for bad luck, I would have had no luck at all.") I had also been keeping track of ticket sales on eBay and well, the price was 750 pounds when I last checked. As of now, I don't spend that much over a whole month, hell, I don't even make that much in a month!

I have managed to find out that the gates to the venue open at 6:30pm. Now I am hoping that what with all the other bands playing etc, Led Zep don't come on till about 9:30 or so, giving me enough time to get to the venue from my work, from where I will get free at 9:00pm. Then, I am hoping that the sound is loud enough to carry all the way to outside the venue, which is where I will be huddling like a bum, hoping to catch all the great music I can. I am pretty sure I will not be the only one there in the cold windy outdoors (the forecast is about 3 degrees with about 15mph winds, but no rain). Now if only I had money to get hold of some thing to smoke... but I guess I will have to make do with some cheap alcohol to brave the elements.

I am no die-hard fan of Led Zep, or any other band. I don't even have a favourite band, for that matter. But if I had to choose one, I would choose them. So I figure I owe myself this much. If nothing else, it will make for some cheap kicks at the very least.
