Ok guys, I'm back. I took the afternoon to celebrate winning APOLLO tickets this morning. I am still in disbelief. Now i hope to continue my luck in the hunt for a Baltimore ticket. I am riding this high as long as i can. Back to the F5 madness, but i wish you all luck. I truly hope you all get in first, then i get my chance at winning.
can you feel this world with your heart and not your brain?
I should have called it quits with GNR (outside of the 1st 2 reunion shows they played at T-Mobile Arena I went to in Vegas, which were incredible) just to see Axl/Slash/Duff back together after I finally achieved one of my life's primary quests and nabbed the mic Axl tosses at the end of every show.
It's a pretty cool story, if anyone here is bored of F5'ing and wants to read about it.
So that I don't have to read through 8 pages, what's the short version of the story?
Got mic during the residency they played at the Hard Rock in 2012. Had security come over and confiscate it, which is complete and total bullshit if you follow GNR. Lost my mind in anger and started threads about what happened on pretty much every GNR message board there is. Had it take off to the point where members of the band actually commented on it on their FB pages asking the casino what the fuck they were doing.
Got a call from the Head of PR at the Hard Rock to personally apologize and tell me they would sending me a replacement mic. They were unable to get the band to get them one, so they had to actually open the GNR display case in the lobby of the hotel and send me the one they had, which was signed by the entire fucking band.
Decided to go completely over the top and had it, a ticket, pics from the show, and a room key with the art from the residency framed with a mirrored back to show the signatures on the backside and give it my best friend that took me to Vegas for that weekend when my life was in the shitter and I desperately needed a break.
Easily one of my best 3 stories on my time on this planet so far.

Just curious. I realize at the Apollo anywhere in the theater is beyond amazing. But do you know your seat location ahead of time? Or do you not find out until you pickup tickets at the Apollo?
Please tell Sirius to not give me a heart attack by sending an email with the title: Pearl Jam at the Apollo Theater - Here's Your Chance to Attend! It was just about entering the contest.

Not yet. Its actually still very surreal. Apparently i'll get an email with details in a week. Praying i gave all the correct info! I had my almost 3 year old hanging on me during the call. I ended up throwing a gallon of ice cream in front of him with a spoon so i could concentrate. LOL
