A few weeks ago while listening to the local generic alt-rock station, I heard the DJ anounce that it was time to call in and win some tickets. I rarely ever win anything, but being a closet case optimist, I figured I give it a shot. Amazingly I was " caller X" ( that would be the number 10 for all you non-romans out there). The DJ then proceded to tell me that I had won a pair of tickets to see the Kings of Leon and that I was qualified for a drawing in wich one lucky contestant would win along with other things, a VW beetle, an apartment , movie tickets, concert tickets, beer. etc.
I show up about a week later for the schedualed drawing. I was one of about 130 other lucky individuals who got the chance to be enticed with all the free thirts, key chains, and energy drinks that we young consumers so love. After a couple hours of waiting around for the drawing they finally had us all get in pick a number and then line up according to the number drawn. I happen to be 80. Once the line had been formed, wich took a good 20 minutes, we were supposed to pick a key out of a bucket and try it out on a door. As luck would have it, I had no sooner said" watch the first guy in line win! but what are the odds of that?" to the guy next to me, when it happened!!! Needless to say the whole crowd was pissed.
The Kings of Leon finally came to town last weekend. Heidi didn't seem to impressed when I
let her hear a few tracks of the their CD , but she wanted to come anyway. It ended up being a kick ass show, one of the best live performances we had been to. The opening act "The Features" were awsome too. I think Heidi will be a big fan of King of Leon from now on.
