That was me. [In reply to] Can't Post

I looked at tickets when they first went on sale, and then about 30 hours later, and IIRC no more than a few rows had sold in that time. This was true in all price categories. I didn't make note of exact ticket numbers or anything though.

Plus as you point out, this is a big venue, and there are two nights. And it's almost a year away! With the economy the way it is, most people (myself included) don't know where they'll be living or working in Oct. 2009, so it's difficult to even think about making plans.

I figured it was you... [In reply to] Can't Post

But it was so much work to open up another tab and navigate to the post to find out. :-)

Doug hinted that a third concert could get arranged if these two sold out, as well.

I bought two tickets - 1st mezzanine, Row D, seats 505-506 [In reply to] Can't Post

I have no idea if I can go, but didn't want to miss the chance!

Each cloak was fastened about the neck with a brooch like a green leaf veined with silver.
`Are these magic cloaks?' asked Pippin, looking at them with wonder.
`I do not know what you mean by that,' answered the leader of the Elves.

I love it! [In reply to] Can't Post

It wouldn't have occurred to me to put those two melodies together, but it works great. I love mashups. Smile

Thanks for the link. I really should check that blog more often, but there's too much other internet out there.

I can picture that. [In reply to] Can't Post

Somehow she'd step out of the barrel looking as elegant as ever, and we'd all be standing around trying to figure out why she doesn't look bedraggled. Tongue Laugh

Woot! I was relieved that they are not flying off the shelves. My ticket will be for Saturday night if I can manage it.

The 3 of us have Orch#5 Row GG 505-507-geez we went for it.\\ [In reply to] Can't Post

 

"Tolkien, like Lewis, believed that, through story, the real world would become a more magical place, full of meaning. We see its patterns and colors in a fresh way. The recovery of a true view of the world applies both to individual things, like hills and stones, and to the cosmic - the depths of space and time itself. For in sub-creation, in Tolkien's view, there is a "survey" of space and time. Reality is captured on a miniature scale. Through stories like The Lord of the Rings, a renewed view of things is given, illuminating the homely, the spiritial, the physical, and the moral dimensions of the world."

Tolkien and C.S. Lewis- The Gift of Friendship -Duriez


May the grace of Manwë let us soar with eagle's wings!

In the air, among the clouds in the sky
Here is where the birds of Manwe fly
Looking at the land, and the water that flows
The true beauty of earth shows
With the stars of Varda lighting my way
In all the realms this is where I stay
In the realm of Manwë Súlimo
By El~Cugu (From the website: 'The realm of Manwe')
