Need some advice
 

Okay. This will sound wierd, but it's really not. LOL

I am contemplating on going to Philadelphia to see Justin Guarini...again. Here's the deal. He was in a movie and they are having a party and we (his fans) were invited by the guy who made the movie because we love and support Justin. There will be a great buffet, drinks and Justin is going to sing and will be at this party for 5 hours. Some of the gals on my J board are going and it sounds like a blast.

Should I go? It's $100 to get into the party, but Sal (the director) says Justin fans will get preferred treatment in regards to photos and stuff with Justin. I have to find airfare and a hotel (think I found a good one close by).

The reasons not to go: Ummm....errrrr....welll......hmmm....just saving about $1000 - 1200, I guess. LOL

Go for it girl :blob2:

Justin is super sexy, and it sound like you love him, so go for it :woohoo:

If you're a fan then I would say go! You'll only regret it if you don't!

My advice is not to go, Christy.

Lol
 

Why's that, David?

Oh don't be a killjoy for the girl David! :lol:

Go for it Christy! :blob2:

I made a choice back in 2003 to go and see all the artists that I wanted to. To absorb as much from the music as I could. It's cost me a of a lot of money and left me broke at times but it's been a hell of a ride. Plus I have the peace of mind that I did it!

Before 2003 I saw the following live :

The Cult
Guns 'N' Roses
Peter Green Splinter Group

So far for 2006 I've got the following booked :

If money is no object in your life, go for it. BUT, if you are sweating it, don't do it. $1200 is a lot of money for "pictures and stuff." I know you are a big Lindsey fan. I think you should hold out just a bit longer. I think something will be coming. Someday. Maybe in the form of Lindsey solo, maybe in the form of FM, but $1200 is a lot of money for most people. :shrug:

Mfm...
 

Is it that we have reached the 3rd decade of our lives and that's why we want to do things we wouldn't do before? I dunno. When I turned 25, I had a life change and feel like I sleepwalked until then. LOL Now, turning 30 in less than a month, I want to do things without regret.

I love your new outlook into seeing as many concerts and artists as possible. :thumbsup:

Oh, did I mention I'll get to meet Abe Vigoda too! :blob1: LOL

Tango...money isn't really an issue. I mean, I can be a penny-pincher at times, but it's not that. I spent WAY too much cash in England, but I don't regret one cent of it. I do regret not taking better photos. LOL I have a new camera, so next time! I just hate making decisions is all. Sometimes, I feel like I make wrong ones.

I will be going to see Lindsey as much as I can when/if he tours! Count on that!! If I have to sell a kidney and be a surrogate mom!! Okay, just kidding about that. :shocked:

I've been a Justin fan almost as long as I've been a Lindsey fan. Through good, bad, BS and crap. Lindsey came along in 2001, Justin...2002.

Christy, if you save up and wait for Lindsey you will have enough money to fund a solo tour for him!!!

Yes, the end of the world.... And I think Lindsey has a tentative release date soon after that.....

Hit the nail on the head there. :nod:

Time accelerates once you hit 30. You gotta cram as many experiences in as you can from now on. Enjoy the wonders of the planet Christy. The feeling of time we had in the 20's is history. In the words of Roger Waters :

"Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun"

Well that's a helluva lot of money. If it makes you happy, then do it. It's ONLY money right? haha. Have you met Justin before? If so, I'd reconsider, but whatever.

Word to Mr. Waters!
 

Exactly. It's a weird feeling when you sit down and go "WTH have I done?" "Where is time going?!" "What are my memories?" You really do feel like you've been....asleep or zombie-like, don't you? For me, it's that way.

Seteca and I have discussed this too. :nod:

Lol
 

Yes, twice, actually. It's not just meeting Justin again. There are some fans I would like to meet up with and also, I've never been to Philadelphia and want to stay for the weekend and check out the town. :) A mini-vacation with some Justin thrown in for good measure. ;) If I were to just go up for that one night thing, it wouldn't cost that much...but the fact I wanna stay for about 3 nights and see Philly. I was just approximating the $1000 - $1200. I'm putting cabfare, eats, shopping, sights, and the $100 ticket in there too.

I think all three of us have the same feelings.

Seteca was with me for about 90% of those performances I mentioned above and I know he feels the same as I do. The only thing is Seteca, the lucky **** is still far from hitting 30!!! :lol:

Lmao!!
 

He is soooo a lucky b*stard. :laugh: Although, he is sort of an accelerated 20-something anyways.
