well there is always more to any story...but basically thats all there was too it...it was the first time we'd ever been to a show at that venue and we were looking for the cornoa tent...we couldn't find it and we asked the guy working the vip area if he knew, he said no, we kept talking as he looked through his paperwork identifing which credintails got people where, then he basically let my wife and I through...granted this was about 7:30 for a 8:00 (8:20) start, so we didn't get to take full advantage, but a few free beers and cocktails later we headed to our seats, granted we had lawn seats, but we figured since we were so close to the good seats we'd walk with the other VIPs and just find a spot...it worked for the first half of the show until nature called and we had to leave and couldn't get back....moral of the story is it never hurts to ask or bullsh!t with a 17 year old kid who really could care less what happens...I'm sure a $20 bill would have got me past as well, but I wasn't thinking clearly enough and it was getting close to show time...

That is awesome. I remember one year at a George Strait music festival concert where I conned my way backstage with my friends 4 times to meet Sara Evans, Lonestar, Lee Ann Womack, Alan Jackson. And then talked my way into the front row for the last half hour of Strait's show. But your story might even top that one!

You usually need to know someone who can get you tickets. I usually can get VIP passes through someone who manages Jimmy Buffett's concerts (a friend of a friend of a friend's wife kind of deal). Anyway, I got VIP passes to the concert at Citizen's Bank Park in Philly (8/27).

The best part is after you have had them a few times and made a good impression with certain people.....you can get back every time.

Could you guys please stop with all the inuendos (

)and just tell the stories?

OKAY! I am not privledged enough to know Heather Lee or Nadirah. So I guess I will have to pull a $20 bill out of the beer fund at the concert and find a 17 year old to let me in.

I was hoping for special consideration because I'll be coming from SO far away, and bringing my beautiful 21-year-old daughter with me!
