dear diary...
so after going to bed after 2 am... waking up at 4 was a bit hard... but i was determined... it was for a good cause!
taylor picked me up at 4:30ish and off we were... like i said, i was told that there were already lineups and we were nervous.. but we got there... in the darkness... downtown was DESERTED... there was no one there... we circled the building... looked at every possible entrance, and finally determined that the one we initially saw was the right one.
so we parked our asses...and started to wait... by 5:30 ish, more ppl arrived... a flamboyantly gay guy, chris, his pal and his kid... we started chatting and this guy is a madonna expert and major collector...
taylor and i needed a break and went to timmis for a coffee/pee break, and when we came back monica had shown up! a bit after that, jaclyn called and said she was on her way! so the party was complete... as the day went by, not too many ppl showed up.. and by the time doors opened, there was like..10 of us...(we were totally expecting lineups and just pure mayhem...b/c madge sold out 3 shows in ny in 20 mins!!!!) so for some stupid reason, they did a random draw... meaning that we each get #s and they pick one randomly, and whoever gets that # goes first and everyone goes behind them.... so after being 1st in line... and there since 5 am... i was last, b/c of the stupid draw... so then came the complicated part... coordinating w/ rochelle and her friend...
i was freaking out b/c i was next in line and i wasn't sure what i was doing..
at some point the age old question arose again.. do we wait for this show to sell out and hope they open another show? i called rochelle (AGAIN) and asked... she said, "decide soon, b/c you've got 4 minutes!" so i took it as a sign... b/c really.. how perfect was that????? so we took our chances...and kept w/ the original plan and the original show date....
and at 11th hr. rochelle informed me that SHE GOT THE TICKETS!!!!! we got pretty decent seats...(though i think they're GREAT!) and it cost me....$367!!!! but i think it's going to be worth it!
next, we foolishly went to cheapies and i got a rare vhs copy of to justify my love (the full uncensored video), a copy of the disasterous swept away, and 2 LPs (true blue and i'm breathless)...
it's 12:08 pm... i'm tired... i'm going to sleep and then have a madonna night :D
HOLY SHIT!!!! I'M GOING TO SEE MADONNA!!!! LIVE AND IN THE FLESH!!!!
I THINK I JUST SHAT A SMALL LITTER OF KITTENS....
