I won the raffle, but there wasn't even a raffle....???.....

Monday, April 14 around 10:55 a.m. i glance down at my phone and notice a text that i apparently received sometime while i was sleeping, it said"Hey! Sorry i know this is really late notice but i have 2 extra tickets to the concert tomorrow night if you want them. Please let me know asap" The text was from Bridgette, a girl that my friend Kammon used to date. Since i rarely ever talked to her, i just assumed that she had sent that text to the wrong matt, and went back to work. just as my mind had put the text aside my phone rang and it was bridgette, i was the right matt. She reminded me that last week Kammon and i had entered a raffle that she was supervising, but the people holding the event forgot to do the raffle, so she had two tickets to Jimmy Eat World concert , that is if i wanted them. It was tough but i said yes, i'll take them.
Since Kammon had bought a raffle ticket with me, karma would dictate that he got first right of refusal. He was stoked(excellent word from the early 90's). then at about 2p.m. Kammon starts forwarding me these texts that he's getting from a girl that is trying to convince him to go to the jazz game and sit with her on the 14th row.(this is the last home game) He told her he was already going to the concert. I called him and told him he should go to the game, heck i know i would, i had debated a little earlier if i would rather see the concert or stay home and watch the game. Now since she was trying to subvert my friend into flaking on me, we devised a brilliant plan. She could have Kammon for the game as long as she provided a pretty face to take his place. And she pulled through, so i ended up going with a pretty girl, which of course is much better than a dude. :)
As it turns out the concert tickets were vip tickets, so we got to miss the lines and the frisking and were escorted upstairs to a buffet of Costa Vida and a bottomless bin of vitamin water and vitamin energy drink. Of course i drank a few, i had to get all the value out of my free tickets.


Obviously this is Paramore, the singer was a spunky
little angry girl.

And if the other was Paramore, this of course is Jimmy Eat World
if you look really close and cross your eyes, you can almost see the lead
singer in the middle. with a really good imagination you probably can.
