Haha I can't argue with that. It really is my friend's fault, because I finally got my parent's permission, but my friend said "There is no reason to go."
Good argument, right?
Oh well, I have a foolproof plan to embarrass the shit out of him. We (and one other friend) are going to the July 15 Iron Maiden show. Right before that, we are going to Mike's meet and greet. I'm taking these two tickets for this show I'm not going to, and having Mike sign them. I know I'll only have a few seconds, but while he is signing them, I'm gonna say, "Yeah, I wasn't able to go to this concert and I lost 90 bucks because this guy right here said there was no reason to go"
At the very least, I will have two cool signed items. I guess that sort of (not really) makes up for being unable to go to the concert...
