Excitement turned to disappointment when we, two totally broke teenagers, saw the prices of wristbands. $225? Do they understand how many hours of babysitting that is?! But then hope shone again - we heard that they were going to do a taping for ACL Live. So we were back to this.

| Awww yeah. |
We entered the contest for tickets, and so did our parents, and our brothers, and we convinced our uncles and friends and grandmothers and strangers we met on the street to enter too, hoping that someone would take us along. We waited, with bated breath, for four days. Every time a fun. song came on the radio, it felt like an omen. But then it was announced - the tickets had been emailed. We rushed to our computers, salivating slightly.

| We're disappointed too, Nate. |
We went out on the town, throwing stones at people's windows, as soon as we heard we didn't get the tickets. This is really happening? We wanted to be the one to win the tickets. We felt like we were breaking down. We wanted to set the world on fire! We are young, and now we need someone to carry us home because we're losing our minds - we think it's for real this time.*
We don't know why we didn't win the tickets, because we would do just about anything for them. Maybe even...
1. Paint ourselves head to toe in paint and walk all the dogs at Austin Pets Alive!
 |
| Maybe even pooper scoop, too. |
2. Watch all of twilight movies back to back...three times in a row.
 |
| Emotional range of a teaspoon. |
3. Hold hands with our dads while singing and dancing to high school musical songs in public.
 |
| I'm the cool dad, that's my thang. |
4. Babysit Veruca Salt for a week for free.
 |
| She could probably afford a wristband. |
5. Wear this shirt around Austin.
 |
| Did you know we're homeschooled? |
Would anyone else go to these lengths for the love of music?

here's to hoping that I don't have to learn the dance routines to High School Musical. Although, seeing Jay and Maya do Bop to the Top (with fedora and shiny shirt) might just make this whole thing worth it, imho.
ReplyDeleteSorry, Bill, ain't gonna happen. But I'd love to see the girls wearing Mommy BFF shirts all around Austin. That alone would almost be worth $225. Almost.
