The Police. What an experience

So my first music obsession was The Police. When I heard "Don't Stand So Close To Me" I went out and bought (or copied) everything else they'd done. I listened to The Police non-stop for years and, since they'd just broken up, swore up and down that I'd give any number of semi-vital body parts to see those three play together live.

So when they announced the tour I almost peed my pants! And I was on the computer at 9:59 the morning of the pre-sale. Got super expensive, pretty good tix for me and hubby. When they came on stage I almost couldn't belive what was happening. I was seeing THE POLICE - after waiting 23 years!!!!!! The show was really cool but I missed the hyper-fast and somewhat angry energy that i'd heard and seen on bootlegs and other live footage.

But as soon as I came back from the show, I knew I had to go again, so I got tix for Dodger Stadium (missed the Foo Fighters, that's a WHOLE other story that still gets me angry to this day). The 2nd time around I was able to just enjoy it for what it was and not "miss" anything or feel like anything was lacking. Again I had paid through the nose for great seats and I was screaming and dancing like a 13-year-old the entire night!! I still listen to the bootleg almost once a week (it's been almost a year).

So when my friend asked if I wanted to sit with them on the lawn next month on the third (?) leg of the tour, I thought what the hell. This is never ever going to happen again. And for $40 I'll take that.

So the day my summer break starts I'm going to sit on the lawn, have a few margaritas and see the band that made me love music.

That's my story, sorry it was so long...
