Alice In Chains

f you know anything at all about me you know that Alice in Chains has been my favorite band since....F-O-R-E-V-E-R.  The planets were never quite aligned for me to see them when Layne was alive...Well I'll take that back....I had the chance to see them in '94 while living in SoCal and chose to do something else instead.  ((@@))  What the HELL was I thinking?  I can tell you what I was thinking...I WASN'T.  I was in love with a GI and wanted to spend time with him.  We chose to go to Magic Mountain and other things instead.  DUMB dumb dumb.  The relationship didn't last and I missed out on an AWESOME concert.  Ugh.... 

Life happens and we move on.  They didn't really tour after that and then Layne died in 2002.  SO very sad.  Even worse that he died  on 4/5 which was also the day Curt Cobain died AND the birthday of said GI.  ((@@)) 

Fast forward to sometime in January of this year.  John and I were chatting about something we saw on TV.  Then he mentioned that one of the bands I love love love was coming to town and I should see when.  Well...I checked and it was Alice.  AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!  I was SO excited!  Of course I knew John wouldn't go with me because he doesn't do concerts.  SO I went with my cousin.  I have to say...I've been to my fair share of concerts in my day (I'm not a groupie or anything) and AIC in Nashville was the BEST concert of my life.  Yeah... you can say it was because of WHO we saw live but I would still argue that the concert itself was top notch.  I've been humming various songs all week and I am still walking on air.

THEN I got a call that they were coming BACK.  AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!  Can you see how excited I am!?!??!  I looked for tickets ALL week.  Tickets went on sale this morning.  THEN...I looked at StubHub, TicketMaster and EVERY place I could think of and NOTHING.  I was SO very sad.  I Googled until I couldn't Google anymore and then it happened.  I found tickets.  OMG!  I checked out the place and found primo tickets for HALF the price we paid for the one in Nashville.  AWESOME!  SO now I get to see them twice in as many months.  It just doesn't get any better than that!  REALLY...it doesn't.
