Almost the Best of Both Worlds

The next time you travel in a plane, be sure to strike up a convo with the people near you. If you do, you might find out that you're sitting next to someone who works in concert promotion and books shows for Aerosmith, Miley Cyrus, and American Idol, among others. He could ask for your business card and call you a few days later to offer free tickets to a concert, such as Stadium of Fire. At least, that's what happened to my dad.

and watched a group of blue men

and screamed along with other twelve-year-old girls.
