My friend bought four floor tickets to the last-chance-ever Police tour for $250 each. The show is on Friday, June 29th. I want to go. I don't have $250. Help particleman fulfill his dream of seeing Sting take his shirt off. Just kidding. But I would really like to see The Police. This isn't a Rolling Stones-type tour where they say, "Ok, THIS is the last tour. We mean it this time." This will really be the only time The Police tour together again. I'm pretty sure they hate each other and that's why they have never done a reunion tour. Until now.
I know there are a bunch of you out there who read this blog. If each of you donates a buck or two, that would probably be enough. For those of you requiring a guilt trip to encourage donation, consider the donation a small token of thanks for the many years of enlightening and humorous blogging. I did it all for you. Plus, it would be a great graduation gift, provided I pass my classes this semester...
Those of you that are still reading, I would really, really, really appreciate it if you could send a buck or two or five to my paypal account, registered under the email address mtnbiker7901 -at- yahoo -dot- com. Or, if you see me at school, I will happily take cash. Thank you thank you thank you.
I will be keeping track of who donates what (in an Excel spreadsheet, of course). If I don't get close enough to the $250 to actually go, I will return all of the money. You can consider this an enforceable contract.

i have a problem with paying $250 to see any band. its not that i'm cheap, i just think that it promotes an elitist air to rock, which just ain't right. besides, its an arena/stadium tour, when was the last you went to a show at a huge venue and came away thoroughly satisfied? you'd probably just be surrounded by old rich dudes anyway...

i hear you. $250 is pretty stupid for a band. then again, the last arena show i saw was probably Aerosmith in 10th grade or something, which rocked. but that was Aerosmith, and it was probably $40, not $250. oh wait, i also saw Foo Fighters in college at Frank Erwin, which kind of sucked. horrible sound.

I'll donate if you get me a t-shirt. Bonuses will be paid for any droplets of Sting's sweat that might land on said t-shirt. We can negotiate terms.

Sara - you have a deal.
Steve - a tear just fell on my keyboard. please, go see a concert. any concert.
Skorloff - the deadline is sometime in June. I can't give a concrete date. My friend will need enough time to sell the ticket on ebay.
