Big thanks to The World Famous KROQ for yet another free gig!! Tiffany and I promised each other that we would both do whatever we could to win tickets for this event, because truth be told, there was no way in hell we could afford this show. For weeks upon weeks, we messaged back and forth as to when it was time to call in to win tickets. We were down to the final week, and KROQ was generously giving away tickets for BOTH nights to caller 20 every hour on the hour.
The rock gods were smiling on us when I miraculously got through with the cell phone (which very rarely occurs) and heard those very important words "...have you won anything in the past 30 days...?" Nope. Sure hadn't. At least not in the last 30 days. And that is all that mattered!!
Let's be honest...the ONE reason Tiffany and I wanted to go to this show on this night was for one reason. Queens of the mother effin' Stone Age. Don't get me wrong, the other bands were good. But I'd gladly have given them all up (except maybe Arctic Monkeys & AFI) for more time spent with our beautiful 6'5" ginger. Regardless, the night was an absolute blast, the music was awesome (minus Vampire Weekend, yawn), the company was fabulous, the seats were magnificent, and to have this all for free made it pretty much perfect.
