GARTH RULES!

It's reported that Garth sold out NINE - count 'em - NINE - shows at the new Sprint arena in KC. That's 18,000 tickets, 9 nights, $31 a ticket - over $5 MILLION!!!!!!!!!!!! My brother and sister-in-law, Mike & Diana, managed to get 6 tickets. Diana was just a tad bit excited. I wish we could go, but November is a busy month at the ol' Eagle, and it's hard to get time off.

Favorite Garth memories anyone? Mine is Brandon, about 3 years old, playing one of those electronic Playskool (I think) guitars - singing "Friends in Low Places". I've got a picture (somewhere) of him standing in front of the TV watching a Garth concert and playing that little guitar.

I guess one reason I like Garth is that he's never gouged his fans on ticket prices to his concerts. Let's face it, he could have charged $100/ticket in KC and still sold out 9 shows! That would have amounted to over $16 MILLION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now you know why I think Garth rules!

It's a Friday night, I think the 9th. Hey, that's when you'll be here, isn't it? The concert was scheduled for Wed. Nov. 14th, but I think the shows they added were before the orig. date. I think they start on the 7th or 8th...

I waited in the rain all night long back in the spring of '91 for tickets when he was here (Martina was with him).
My fave memory of Garth... it was his song "Friends in Low Places" that got me to give country music the time of day anyway. :)
... I took his glass of champagne...

K-STATE WINS!

K-STATE beat KU! AWESOME! It was a tense game. Corby is a huge KU fan, and even having a son at K-State hasn't changed that. I am happy when any Kansas team does well; but I had to root for K-State tonight. If the Jayhawks had to lose, I'm glad it was to K-State. Michael Beasley is a great player, and my only concern is that he will leave after his freshman year and go pro. WAY TO GO CATS!

Terrible Day

I'm not going to go into a lot of detail here, but suffice it to say that I had a TERRIBLE day at work! I made a huge mistake costing the company some revenue, and I feel awful! I certainly didn't need anyone to get on my butt, because I was kicking myself for the better part of the day. I know, I know, I'm human, but this was a BIG human mistake! I hate to admit that I'm human! HATE TO MAKE MISTAKES - ESPECIALLY BIG ONES! Okay, that's it. I'm having a margarita and trying to relax now. I'm done with being human for a while!
