    It was hysterical. When I got to the p.o., I ran into a ton of PJ fans dropping off theirs. Best part, the tickets. Something to show the grand kiddies.

    We got our tickets by calling on the telephone… I never got through.  And found out later I had been calling the wrong number the whole time.  Luckily my brother picked up an extra pair for me.  🤣

    You had to mail away for tix. Post marked on a certain date. I remember driving to the city, main branch on 8th Ave.and dropping off envelopes at exactly midnight. Then waiting for tix to arrive week or so later.
    I can’t remember the ticket buying process. I thought you had to call. I remember working in an office during that time as an administrative assistant in a cubicle. I remember during my lunch hour sneaking into some executives office who wasn’t there to use the phone to call the number for tickets. But I could be wrong. I really can’t remember how I got the tickets. 
    I think I was home from college on break and even tried calling from a friends house at a party. Just like Ticketmaster now, any spare couple of minutes redial/f5. Finally got through at home one day.

    That was a special day. My first show and first time present tense was played live.
    Second time it was played live. The showbox show on 9/14/96 was first.  ;)

    Oh did not know that. What a day.

    I definitely called in for tickets.  I love that my name is on the ticket.  
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......
