Well, Soda, I did it! I just booked a second row seat through the Sydney Morning Herald's pre booking service. The price is A$495.

Yes, it's pricey but I just got a fairly decent tax refund and this will pay for it. I thought 'oh well, what the hell'. I am not 'rabid' as you are but I am sure I will enjoy it and I somehow feel this is a way of 'giving you something back' for all you have done for me if that makes sense. The show is on December 7.

I won't be able to do the spectacularly detailed reviews that you do but I promise to give both Lindsey and Stevie a big smile for you.
