Nice to see you getting the younger generation into fandom, Michelle. :) They'll definitely thank you later; especially perhaps for FP - when the boys finally get their long-deserved big break, they'll be able to tell their friends that *they* were fans before they became "cool". :D Ang

So I finally blew my code. After hours of just a single, back, floor seat popping up for Houston, I used my TPT code for four $90 seats for "family night" for Dallas #2. After 4.5 hours, I thought it must be a sign---no one else wanted them. After a final tossback, I rationalized it thinking my kids would love to see Fiction Plane again, and I'd love for them to see The Police. In my mind, FP alone is worth $30 each for them; understanding their mom's insanity (the police), the extra $70, right? Ugh. Cramping my style, but I was feeling guilty. What if 20 years from now they say "my mom went to all these shows and didn't bring us..." Of course they'll be referring to fictionplane when they're mega superstars, like I refer to The Police back in the day....They saw FP when they were 4, 9 and 11, so it's only fitting she see them again when they're 8, 13 and 15, right? History repeating itself for the next generation. I have to keep telling myself this was a wise choice. Help me out here...
Hope all of you ended up with something decent today after the nightmare of a hackjob going on w/the codes. I'm still celebrating for you, Kim!!!!
RE: Fan Club: OK, even with all my griping, I still think a membership code is the best way to go. You can't fault them that they were getting hacked into. Since a decent Houston ticket was out of the picture for me, I figured I may as well blow the code. Didn't see any other shows in my near future to save it for. Hope I made the right choice. If not, guess they'll get another $100 from me. I'm sure if I worked it out, a ticketbroker would be waaaaay less expensive, and the stress level, much better, so why do I continue to do this?
