Adventures with Dr. Lady Cutie Troublemaker

Life is in flux BIG TIME these days. I want to keep in touch with all of my peeps. The Internet is this beautiful thing. I can move to a brand new city and still stay in easy, near-daily contact with the people I love. When I feel connected to the people in my life that matter, I am unstoppable!

Gig-O-Rama

By Abby at 3:40 pm on Friday, April 14, 2006


Here’s a fine example of my ADD in action. I was checking Bloglines, and Jon from Bostonist had posted about the Pixies being on Henry Rollins this weekend, and so I decided to instant message him a thank you for the fine content. Then I went on to say that I had seen them in the Oberlin College gym. He asked if I had a ticket stub, since I’ve uploaded a few of those lately. I said I didn’t think I did. But then I started looking… And then I found it, took a picture, and uploaded it! And then there were so many more to upload. Half the day was lost taking pictures, uploading, tagging, then e-mailing the set around to all the people who I’ve been to gigs with over the years. The responses rolled in, and I had a fine time responding to everyone and reminiscing. I am still pretty sick, so I guess I can excuse myself for such slackerly behavior. Plus, most of Boston is celebrating Patriot’s Day (a holiday that’s new to me) on Monday, and I’m planning on working, so I can rationalize my low productivity, right? RIGHT?!! 😀

What is it about mid-April that makes me deal with ticket stubs?!

Isn’t that so weird? Total coincidence, too.

I’m so proud. I was at one of those concerts with you. Of course, it was the complimentary Lyle Lovett one, but I made it to a gig! 🙂

Amazing. Wish I had my old ticket stubs.

Proud of me for going to lots of gigs? Or proud of you for having made it to one?!

I don’t know what got me keeping these right off the bat, but I’m glad I did. I think I continued because it never took up any space.

[…] I never save concert ticket stubs, but Abby has – seemingly to every show she’s been to. Funnily enough, she was at the same 1986 R.E.M./Let’s Active show (Fox Theatre, Atlanta) that happened to have been the first concert I attended, at the tender age of 14. What an ideal first concert. I remember being impressed that a couple of people in front of us came to see Let’s Active and left after the opening band had played. […]

My friend Katie told me he was there, and at the time, I was like “Yeah, right!” And then the next day, I found out that he really had been there. Apparently, he was keeping it very low key in the back. Oh well! At least we saw the Pixies!
