From Facebook:

In 1995, I sat in my garage and redialed ticketmaster over and over and over trying to get tix to the Golden Gate park show and failed.

In 1996, a friend invited me to the Spartan Stadium Show AND MY MOM DIDN'T LET ME GO.

in 2000, I had shoreline tickets that overlapped with a class I needed to graduate college, so I gave them to a friend.

After college, I was broke for quite a few years so it kept me from seeing shows I wanted to see.

Anyway, It's taken 25 years and about 5 tries, but I am FINALLY SEEING PEARL JAM.
