Thanks, moe.ron! That'd be freaking awesome! I can get some of my dad's friends to come and chip in and it'd be fun!

Ya'll the Rolling Stones concert in Charlotte, NC is sold out. It sold out on the first day tickets were available at the Arena. The representative said you had to be there to get the tickets. Argh! There was never anything in any of the area papers about it! My mom searches for that kind of stuff because she loves concerts!

FWIW, if you're really into concerts, get to know the people at your favorite venues - seriously!! I went a few years when all I had to do was get a floor ticket, and a buddy would move me into the first row! Plus, the venue people really know what's going on!
Also, watch the papers for the scalpers. That's who's buying a LOT of the tickets. Many of them are willing to deal with you (and that's how I got rid of an old stereo!).

NEW EDITION - saw them on the reunion tour. I love them, would see them again, don't care what the lineup is, as long as it's some of 'em
The last one I went to was Gwen Stepani and Black Eyed Peas. It was good.

I didn't know The Sounds were opening, even better. I saw them a few years back when they first came to the US, and they put on a good show. They played this little venue that only holds about 100 people, so you can always get close enough to pull em off stage if you wanted to.
