Like you, for the heck of it I called and ended up being the # caller they wanted. They had another contest going on at the time (giving away either a caribbean vacation or cash) that I was more interested in winning and since you could only win one contest per 30 day period, I hung up. Never did win that other contest.

A friend had tickets but I chose to go to Florida with my parents to their beach house. I travel regularly to that same beach house....but never saw Floyd. I'm an idiot! _________________

Believe it. Here's the story: We had been going to several concerts that summer, and so naturally, when Huey Lewis & the News tickets were on sale, I bought mine, assuming he and his girlfriend would get theirs soon after. When I asked him later if he'd gotten his, he replied, "Oh, no, we didn't plan on going to THAT one!" I was really put off. I ended up going to the concert solo. The next time they came calling for a concert, it was for INXS. As much as I really wanted to go, I made up some excuse that I couldn't go, just because I was mad at them. I don't know if they figured out what I was doing, but they sure wanted me to go. In retrospect, I should've gone, but I was just too ticked over the Huey Lewis debacle. And now, I can't see INXS...at least not the real INXS, with Michael Hutchence. Bummer. _________________ Zombies, man. They creep me out.

I gave to the ticket to my friend. I think I'll hit his cruise next year (I hope he has one then!) _________________ Growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
