well, what a beautiful night it was. i have a sweet story that i want to share... incubus are my favoourite band, and have been since 2000. i live in auckland and had only ever caught them once in new zealand back in 2004, and was totally gutted when i heard that this concert had sold out. but, living in auckland, it was easy enough for me to just drive over to the venue anyway, so i did. i went there expecting to just hang around outside and hopefully be able to hear them. i got right up to the front doors outside, where the guys from the rock radio station were set up in there utes just hanging out and talking to people. so i went up to them and told them all about how disapointed i was that i'd missed out on being able to see them again. anyway, they were hard out encouraging me to buy a door ticket for $80 >>click "more" to read full version>> , but i couldn't afford (im a 5th year art student at uni) i only had $50 on me... then this guy randomly came up to me with a ticket and was like"do you need a ticket?" and i was like "yeah, but how much do you want?" and he said "$50, but i'll giv it to you for $45" i was so buzzed out aye!... i even had enough to buy a beer. when i walked through the main doors, i was like... man, how did this happen!? i went there expecting nothing... well, actually i thought i might get kicked out of the grounds for loitering or something. then i ended up in a seat with a perfect view, right up the front. i was there by myself, but that made it even more fun, coz i could sing and dance without a care in the world. it was a beautiful moment in time.
