A SMALL?!?

And you SHARED?!?

You must just not care about those poor children. Because if DID care, both you and the hubby would have each ordered a large.

BtD, that is what is killing me. I don't get the tickets until I get there.

I really hate not having tickets in my hand.

Eh, $6, that isn't bad. Heck, if the Hubster wants to splurge, I'll let HIM pay the premium. LOL If it works at the end of the evening, that would be nice. I would like to stay for as much of Linkin Park and I know he hates to stay till the end.

Morri, I'll go check my PM's..

If I had been able to ditch the hubbo, I would have gone through the drive-through and ordered an extra-grande. What no one sees you eat, you never ate.

I live by those words.

I'm currently reading Omnivore's Dilemna and just came across a little bit of consumer psychology that was discovered in the '60s.

Consumers will not buy two small orders of fries for $1.69 but they will buy one order of fries that is twice as big as the small for $1.69. Apparently we live by the rule that it if it comes in one bundle it isn't gluttony.

This discovery is what lead to the supersizing of McDonald's servings and Ray Kroc took a lot of convincing because he always said if they want twice as many fries just let them buy two orders. The guy who figured it started out in movie theaters and that is what lead to the supersizing of movie consessions (nobody would order a second 32 oz. bucket of popcorn bu they would buy an initial 64 oz. bucket).

If it's just a normal camera I'd bring it, I'm sure it'll be fine. I can't remember the last concert I went to that said no cameras. Kenny Chesney said no video, and all they did was stop you if they caught you taking video.

I live 2 miles from there

Same thing when a small whatever is $1.25, medium $1.50 and a large is $1.75 people will get the large for "only 50 cents more". "Would you like to upgrade to a [way more than you should eat] size for only 50 cents more?

Hey! The hotel I am staying at says it is two miles from the venue!!

I think I will prep my camera. It is small enough that I can sneak it in some where on my person if need be. But yeah, they freak you out thinking you can't take a camera and then they sell them inside! That happened last time and it is the same type of show.

By sharing one instead of each buying your own, you've stolen from needy children. Shameful. I suggest going back and having another.
