PholkTales: Near Catastrophes
I knew the upcoming show was going to be an incredible experience, and my friends, brothers, and I were well prepared. We brought a shit load of...shit, and had a complete blast. I was totally blown away, you know? Saturday AM, we roll out of beds, off couches, and peel our faces from linoleum, ready to start it all over again. 

Well, they all had their tickets already, and I ended up having to get one through a broker, who was supposed to drop it off at the box office. I was already a little disgruntled that I had to pay a dick and a nut for my ticket, but hey, I knew it was worth every penny. 

So we get to the lot super early, we're doin' our thing, and at around 4 I decided to go pick up my ticket...and it's not there. I wigged (mildly.) No problem, he says, they'll probably drop it off by 5. OK. Back to the lot, no worries, right? Back to the box office at 5:30. No dice. I'm fully pissed. Don't worry, he says, they'll probably drop it off right before the concert. 7:15 and I have no ticket. The guy was like, well, call your broker tomorrow and get your money back. I don't WANT my money, I want to get my ass into that concert! 

My eyes fill with tears, and I realize that I am totally screwed. No point in going out to the lot to look for one. I mean, I saw about 5 million people with their fingers up all day. I was crushed. I turned around and there was a girl standing there. I sniffed pitifully and asked in a small voice if she was going to have an extra ticket. And she said...yeah, actually, I will. WHAT!!!! She sold it to me for $25 and I walked in just as the music began. What exhiliaration! If ever there was an angel...
