aka: things wot i haz accomplished this week:

* tickets purchased for concert in Carmel, IN, 22 August 2012 - check
* tickets purchased for planes to take me to and from Carmel, IN - check
* ask for time off work to attend concert - check
* talked to v. fashion-oriented dude at work for ideas on 'wtf to wear to concert' - I work for a fashion company, probably many of my co-workers would be good at this, but this dude is ALL ABOUT THE FASHION, so he'll know stuff. (I wear t-shirts and jeans and tho I do have fashionable footwear, I lack snazzy concert clothes.) - check


still to do:

* figure out wtf to wear ( I do not own 'go to awesome concert' clothes ) - tho this goes w/ pt 3 above
* make arrangements for friend or relative to take me to/from airport in IN (shouldn't be an issue, i hope)
* kidnap katernater and go to concert... but can't do this until 22 Aug anyway, so this isn't really an issue yet XD


I'm sure there are other things in the 'still to do' part - but they're not relevant until closer to the trip date. Well, aside from 'work on paying off credit cards and earning awesome rewards w/ same, but that's on-going anyway.

I am rather sad that the venue doesn't allow photography at all. :( I mean, I get why they would want folks to refrain from firing off photo-flashes throughout the performance, b/c that's just annoying, but any camera that would take decent shots from farther away than about six rows would have the capability of disabling the flash and setting the camera to photo w/ correct light w/o the flash.

Beyond the photo thing - the venue has the worst website to navigate for finding information. It lacks basic tools like a 'site map' and direct links to important things like 'how much X will cost'. Seriously - why would you DO that? Do you not want people to try to purchase your wares? And mostly this refers to the 'season series' tickets, not the individual show tickets, b/c those were fairly straightforward, but there were no prices published AT ALL until the tix went on sale this past Monday.

I'm honestly not sure the venue was quite aware how popular this particular concert was going to be. They probably figured 'blues guy, eh, whatev' w/o realizing the part of the fanbase that is 'Hugh Laurie! OMG!'. As evidenced by the fact that they raised the ticket prices 2 days after they went on sale. Bastards. And I'm glad I got my tix on Monday.

Imma stop rambling now... time for bed.... ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
