Review of the Hanson concert

Our quest to get tickets started several months ago. I was planning to visit Louise in Atlanta, and the Hanson concert just happened to be during that week. The tickets were SUPPOSED to go on sale on May 27. At least, that's what the evil Vickie said. Now is a good time to explain Vickie to you unknowing readers. Vickie is this woman (obviously) who lives in the same neighbourhood as Louise. One day during May, Vickie was out walking with her husband. For some reason, Louise's mum was over-excited that Vickie was walking past their house, and told Louise to go out and talk to her, in hope to get some free Hanson tickets. So off Louise went. Well, actually, her mum made her change clothes, but that's irrevelant, so we won't tell you about that. So (finally) Louise went to talk to her. Louise was nervous while talking to Vickie, and failed to introduce herself. She asked Vickie when the tickets were going on sale, and Vickie replied "10:00 am on the 27th." So, Louise believed this EVIL woman, and her dad called Ticketmaster on the 27th in hope of getting tickets. However, Vickie (did we mention she's evil?) LIED to Louise. She was rather mad. On the 27th, she was taking her final exams, and a little worried over the tickets. Vickie is evil. So, she worried over nothing.

Three days later... Louise's parents wanted to take a "family trip" to Nashville. So, on the fateful day, Louise was in Nashville. I was at home in Louisiana, asleep. I depended on Louise to get the tickets. Anyways, back to Nashville. At 8:55, Louise's dad got ready to call for tickets (central time). He called the Atlanta Ticketmaster using the hotel phone (Opryland Hotel, for those nosy ones), but it was busy! So he hung up and called the Nashville Ticketmaster. For those of you who don't know this, you CAN order tickets for a concert in any state. (except in the state of plasma. Phones don't work well there.) He got through, and was put on hold. So, while on hold, Louise's WONDERFUL father called Atlanta Ticketmaster on his cell phone. Unfortunately, the cell phone didn't work. Why don't cell phones work when you need them? Then, her dad was off of hold, and Louise started jumping around and pacing the room. I was still asleep in Louisiana.

He ordered the tickets, and frantically searched for his credit card number. He was very excited that he got tickets. When he was talking to the operator he was talking too fast. The operator told him to "shut up, and talk slower." He replied, "my daughter will disown me if I don't get the tickets." He got the tickets (of course he got the tickets. If he didn't get the tickets, we wouldn't be writing this, now would we?).

Then he hung up the phone, and Louise attacked him with a hug. Then she called me. I was a little excited about getting tickets. Well, actually, I screamed. Who wouldn't? Even Hanson-haters would scream if they were going to see Hanson in concert. Then we hung up the phone. She woke me up, but that's okay. I don't mind getting woken up to the news that I'm going to see Ike in concert. Louise (still in Nashville) skipped outside to tell her mum the spiffy news. Her mum wasn't as excited, even though she was going too.
