ticket line

with the invention of computers and the internet, you don’t have to wait in line for tickets anymore, but you do have to fight traffic of a different kind. tomorrow morning, at 9 am, tickets for the only northwest radiohead show go on sale. now being of little control over my cash, i have forced myself not to have any form of credit/debit card, so i either have to dash over to Joe’s (local store that only stays in business because they sell tickets to shows such as this) or i have to borrow mothers card and buy them on-line. one problem presents itself, waking up at 9. to the normal, average human being, 9 isn’t early. but for someone that gets off work at 11:30 and home at midnight, it makes 9 early. for the most part, i don’t get to bed before 2 or 3, but that means that, after reading or listening to the new music, i don’t fall asleep until 4 or so. but i think i can sacrifice a little sleep, wake early, then take a nap once the tickets are firmly in hand, and they will be by this time tomorrow. well, firmly in hand means e-firmly.
