this is my little story:

I was at work today with HUGE deadline, I've been working 12 days straight without a single day off, so around the time to buy the tickets i explained to my bosses that i needed a half an hour off to try to score tickets to the PJ MGS 2 show, so i explained to them what PJ means to me, all the years of being a fan, the people, the good friends...(you know what i mean)... well i was shut down at the sale, the internet connection was lousy the computer didn't help me either, and well you know how the sites behaves when there's a ticket sale... i felt like crap, my bosses tried to joke a little bit and they thought that i was just being dramatic, well i talked to them again and explained again what PJ means to me they realized what I've told them earlier about PJ... Well to make a long story short one of my bosses made a phone call and said "i need to tickets to pearl jam now" and 2 minutes later he said with a smile "i bought you 2 tickets for PJ and take the day off tomorrow"...

Well this was my little kind of miracle... :D

    and how much does Chuck Norris pay you these days... as only Chuck Norris could make a 2 minute call and score tickets... he is the only person alive who has that much power.
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Great story!

    Just don't take your boss to the show. He/she would keep those tickets for themselves next time around...
