Also, just as I was looking at the ad, I noticed that tickets were going on sale at 10 a.m. today. It was 10 a.m. at the time. I decide to look up to see what kind of a seat I could get. The first five rows are VIP seats that cost $500 each. That's a little out of my ballpark, even for a good cause. However, I did put in for the next level of ticket prices and low and behold, I could get two tickets in the sixth row.
I had quite a decision to make. Shane is in Los Angeles and was probably still asleep at the time. We both love Cyndi. Shane had seen her perform when he lived in Japan and still talks about it. And, it is not just Cyndi. There is a virtual who's who of gay (and straight) celebrities at the event.

We couldn't miss Skylar Grey! It was especially risky since it is being held on a Sunday night. We'd have to get back to work on Monday morning. I decided, "What the hell," and bought the tickets. It was for a good cause after all. When I told Shane later in the day, he was also excited about having such good seats. He wasn't thrilled about the timing, but he likes good seats, so it was not a problem. He was more concerned that we might have to rent tuxedos for such a thing. I don't think you do.
