Beam me up Scotty!

So obviously I've been spending a lot of time near the Sydney Opera House. The other day I though I should find a show at the Opera house to go to. After all I'm here, its here... I found one that I was interested in seeing, it was a comedy, but it wasn't in the concert hall, it was in the playhouse. I figured that was good enough, it'd be a good show, I'd enjoy it. (I'll blog about that another time)

On my walk back I ran across the poster at the left. Whoa, whats that? A Star Trek poster at the Sydney Opera House? I did a double take! Its a concert of various Star Trek music through out all 11 movies! And its this coming weekend! Its in the Concert Hall! And I'm here to see it! It seemed like destiny!

So the next day I stopped by to buy a ticket. They had a couple left but they were all in a spot where the screen (showing clips of the movies while the music plays) wouldn't be viewable. What a bummer! I figured I'd take the day to decide (this was Sunday). I did my little adventure for Sunday (again, something I'll blog about later) and when I got done I decided to go purchase my ticket.... Guess what? Sold out! Major Bummer! I was really disappointed with myself for not just purchasing the ticket right away. Don't let a good thing slip by! Just go for it...

Well all day Monday I was regretting what happened. They said try stopping by an hour before the show to see if ther were any last minute cancelations. That seemed like a slim chance, even though I needed just one ticket.

Tonight (Tuesday night) I decided to call them back up and see if by some chance they had a ticket... Voila! One was available! I can't even describe how excited I am for this! Can you believe the luck? Its like destiny ;) (Let's just not discuss the cost of a once in a lifetime event like this, ok?). I've included some pictures showing where my seat will be. Its going to be good!
