dzneprincess said:OK yall..I have adilemma and could use your input...
I know you are probably sick of hearing about the Madonna concert...but here goes.
I have always loved Madonna! Always! I had never seen her, or been to any concerts at all until I was 17. My 1st concert was at 17, I saw Bryan Adams. I have since been to a Vertical Horizon, Hilary Duff (with DD last year),Creed (twice) and the last 2 Madonna concerts.
I am about to be 31 years old. Those are the only concerts I have ever been to in my whole life. I love music.
The Madonna concerts were worth every single penny! EVERY Single penny! When the new Madonna tour was announced, my only concern that was she would play in ATL while we were on the ship. WRONG she is not playing ATL at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am sooooooooo upset with her about that (silly I know) I am also upset about the ticket prices. SHe just keeps going higher and higher (much like DCL). My head says do not go. Too much money for one night of entertainemnt. Then my heart gets jinvolved and says gogogogogogogo! I have actually looked at the dates, and thought of possible shows I could attend.
There is Phoenix on June 8th. Chicago on June 18th, Atlantic City on July 18th and NYC on July 3rd. THere is also Miami, but I am not so sure of it or NYC actually.
There is no one that loves Madonaa as much as I do(as far as my friends go). They would not be willing to pay for a ticket plus airfare and hotel yadda yadda.....I will be solo. All in all it will end up costing me about $1000 for ticket/air and travel expense. I want to do it sooooooooo bad! But the grown up in me says heck no!!! It doesnt help that DH says, "if it will make you happy, go"
I am worried about traveling to these major cities alone. I kinda want to do ATL City because the venue is so small. It only holds 22000 people....
I am so torn..if you are still with me thank you....WWYD?+

We go to M'ville once in awhile... its part of Universal Citywalk, which is a great place to sit and people watch... (especially as a local watching the tourists... its a natural pasttime down here!!!) Grab a margarita, sit in one of the big rockers out front, and watch the people go by...
RachelTori said:Karen, it shouldn't take more than a few minutes to get them replaced. It should be real easy if you have the AP #'s. If not, it might require a few extra moments on Guest Services' part, but they should be able to re-issue them on the spot! Have fun!! (wish I was going too!!!)
RachelTori said:Mary, How long a drive from PC to JB's? What time is everyone planning to meet at JB's? If we don't make it there, we'll try to come over to the Radisson later that evening to see if y'all are partying at the pool!!
Is anyone still planning breakfast at Grills? (I hope I got the name right) What time? Thanks!

dzneprincess said:I just finished Patricia Cornwell's "Predator" the latest in the Kay Scarpetta series. I was very disppointed with it. That reminds me, are we still going to have a book excahnge?

RachelTori said:Amanda,
Are you sure you'll be able to get tickets? If you can, I say GO!!! I don't think it matters if you've been to 5 concerts in your life or 500. If your heart truly wants to go, you should do it.![]()
mickeymo said:I probably can count the number of concerts I've been to on both hands...starting at about age 17...
But, speaking as someone who used her frequent flyer miles to fly back up to Chicago (hometown) to attend a Captain and Tennille concert in a very small venue (about 500) , her absolute obsession since childhood, dragging her childhood best friends with her, sitting 6th row, and doing the "wait by the stage door to get their autographs" routine. Then promptly bursting into tears when she met them - I think my answer is obvious - GO FOR IT!!!
ohiominnie said:Personally, I wouldn't do it. Then again, I hardly do anything that doesn't involve the "family" in one way or another, so for me to go and do something that expensive, that far away, and that "unneccesary" would just cause me to feel guilty the entire time. Also, I don't know that I'd like going to a concert without a "friend." Something about being smashed between two strangers and not having anyone to lean over and make a comment to.
That's MHO....for what it's worth. Then again, I don't lead an incredibly exciting life.![]()
Monica,mickeymo said:ditto on Predator - I tend to be that way with series - they get pretty stale the longer they go on...
Just read the latest J.D. Robb/Nora Roberts "...In Death" book - same thing too... I liked her early books before she cross marketed as Nora Roberts...
I'm up for trading books if anyone else is - I plan on hitting the library volunteer book store and stocking up on 50 cent paperbacks...
dzneprincess said:Monica,
Did you find that Predator was very,,,,,,hmmmm whats the word........mechanically descriptive??? In so far as the guns/bikes etc etc etc? It was so different from the way that the early Scarpetta books were written, it almost felt like a different author. I skimmed over A lot of the book, because the storyline just wasnt there for me?
