Buy and sell tickets at Viagogo – concerts, sports and live theater events

October 22, 2007 by Tricia

Have you ever purchased tickets for an upcoming concert, the theater or perhaps a sporting event only to have something come up causing you to not be able to go? What did you end up doing with those tickets? Did you give them to a friend or did you simply write them off as money lost?

Well, if you ever find yourself in that kind of situation again, and of course if you live in Europe, you might want to visit Viagogo. Not only can you sell tickets that you are unable to use on Viagogo, but you’ll also be able to purchase tickets to a wide variety of events. For example if you are a sports fan you might want to visit Viagogo to search for Football Tickets, Cricket Tickets or perhaps Rugby Tickets. Perhaps you’ll be able to get tickets for your favorite team?

I live in North America, but if I could get to London in Mid-December I’d try to get tickets for the Thin Lizzy & Queensryche concert at Apollo Hammersmith in London on December 13th.

I love Thin Lizzy. I’ve been a fan of the band ever since I first heard their music as a teen. It’s so sad that the lead singer passed away so long ago. He was extremely talented and I’m sure the band would have been huge if he’d still been around.

I have a personal interest in Thin Lizzy as well. You see I work with, and am good friends with, the lead singers first cousin at the hospital. It would be so cool to go and see the band that her cousin started. Plus, the price of the Thin Lizzy concert tickets is fairly reasonable.

Viagogo has tickets listings for other great bands that I’d love to see as well like The Police and the Sex Pistols. Check it out – I’m sure you’ll find some great tickets there just like I did.

The Amazing Wine club delivers premium wines each month to members

October 22, 2007 by Tricia

In the last few years my husband and I have really started to enjoy wine. Not that we drink wine all that often, but we’ve developed a new appreciation for it.

I hate to say this, but when we first started seeing each other, if we drank wine, the only wine we’d try were white wines! We just didn’t enjoy red wine. At least we had that in common. It was a good friend and neighbor that opened our eyes and I guess you could say taste buds to the delicacies of a good red wine. It’s possible that we drink more red wine these days than white!

As I said we don’t drink a lot of wine, but I’ve considered joining a Wine club. If we were to join a wine club such as the Amazing Wine Club we’d receive featured wine selections each month.

Each of the featured wines are chosen after being taste tested by professionals. Only the wines that meet the Amazing Wine Club’s highest standards are chosen to be delivered to wine club members. These wines include hard to find and hand crafted wines from leading wine producing regions from all over the world.

Each month members of the Amazing Wine Club will receive two premium bottles of wine. I suppose the best part of the experience of being a member of this kind of club is getting to experience new wines – perhaps ones that you can’t find in your local stores or ones that you wouldn’t have thought to try on your own. Memberships can be purchased for as little as three months up to a year.

If club members really enjoy one of the wines that they’ve been sent they can purchase additional bottles at a club discount.

I’ll have to tell my husband about the Amazing Wine Club and see what he thinks. In the meantime though, a membership to the club might make a great gift for some of the wine lovers that we know.

Near sighted puppy?

Grab the Photo Hunt code.
Photo Theme. Visit participants.

This weeks theme is Practical

Puppies are so cute! But I bet some are born with poor sight. I mean, humans aren’t always born with perfect sight so why would we expect all puppies to be able to see well?

Certainly glasses on a puppy is a more practical solution than contact lenses? LOL

Cleared to Travel – Our Passports have Arrived

October 19, 2007 by Tricia

Well I’m happy to say that the passports that we were very slow to apply for arrived yesterday. Just as the Passport Canada office said they would!

We filled out our passport paperwork and handed in our applications at the Passport office on October 2nd. They told us that our Passports should be finished and would be mailed out on October 17th. Yesterday, the 18th, my husband was walking to work and he ran into our mailman, a friend, and our mailman gave them to Chris.

Unfortunately this was a mistake on both their parts. Chris didn’t feel good about leaving the passports that we’ll need for our November trip to Las Vegas in his locker at work, nor did he feel secure about leaving them at the nursing station so he gave them to his boss to keep in her locked office.

Uh oh – she left early and our passports were locked in her office!

Hopefully Chris will have remembered to get a hold of our passports today and brings them home! I want to take a good look at them and make sure that there isn’t a mistake on them or that we don’t have to fill out anything else.

I’m really happy that they arrived so fast though. I mean we’re going away the second week of November and I stupidly waiting to get our passports until the beginning of October? Yeah, I’m lucky!

Oh and when we booked our trip we went through a special discount travel club and got a membership. So now that we have our passports I hope we’ll do a lot more traveling. Lets see Vegas in November, maybe the Caribbean in the late winter or early spring and Branson perhaps sometime in early summer? Yeah that sounds good. Who knows, maybe I can even talk Chris into going to Europe next year?

Art imitates life?

Wordless Wednesday

Ok we’ve all seen new stories that show cars that have crashed into buildings or that have been carried by strong storm winds into trees or the top of buildings.

Some commercial buildings place cars or even airplanes in settings that make them look like they’ve crashed into the building … Well, now even home owners are beginning to do their own take on “car crashes into building” scenes.

I guess this is a new art form?
