How it went before the concert......

 

March 2010. Chris's Colorado show poped up in tour schedule. Steamboart!! I've never been there but I know it's up on the mountain. Aspen last year was nightmair. 5hrs drive one way.

March 10, no detail on website. 27, ticket price $80. Ticket sale starts April 5. " I'm gonna call right on to get good seats!!" How the seating chart? SectionB row B sounds good. 106 and 107...

April5 Called in. Crap!! Just read my post to the forum.
July 26m I called box office. I asked them to sent me e-mail of assign seats but theynever did. Section Am row C 10and 12...."3rd row?..left side? Chris ususally hungs aroud right ide..." I don't remember the seating chart.."Really?!" She gave me 1st row right side...it's end but it's small venue. Same as Beaver Creek. It wasn't bad.
I don't want to get too excited. You never know until I get there.
Plus my situation. I got laid off work last November. I started getting unempoyment but it ran out in June. I got part time job in February but it doesn't help much bills.
I kept telling Don to request day off but he was afraid of loosing job by that so he never got day off. He ususally drives long distance now I have to drive and maybe take one of kid.
I need job and I had interview with agent today (July 27). She said I even have to give up part time flower job. I just have to pray nothig come up on this concert day. The interview or start job.
Unemplyment extention is supposed to kick in but not in Colorado yet.
July 28, Colorado labor and employment website was supposed to open at 6pm but not...it did after 7pm but they don't let me sign up for back pay..
Another bad news, an old co-worker passed away. Rosary Thursday, memorial service Friday. No no. Friday is Chris' concert way up on he mountain. I got to go to rosary. Oh, I'm gonna make flower. I called flower friend Nancy.

I found pic of Mother's day, Fox news came.I put the pic in the arrangement. I was supposed to pay a half of flower but Nancy liked it and she said ' I;ll pay the flower and you did work.."

The family liked the flower, too. Nancy brought it in and set it on the floor but family moved to right by Del. I knew she liked purple, she had purples, lavenders mix color dress and matching.

Thursday, I called labor dept. Their phone starts 7:30am, I started calling before, of cause it didn't go through. Almost right on 7:30, I called again. I expected I would be on hold hours but a person came on the phone shortly and all set.
I won't get money untill next week, no cash. I saved a few cash in case I have to pay for parking. I'm getting milk, chips at gas station using gas card and living thugh.
