History and Sheer Luck

Being alive to take part in a change in History
Now that is something to brag about.

To have 2 pieces of History in your plate...one a Once in a lifetime chance
Now that's just luck overloaded.

24 Hour last minute, in the 24 hour watch of the Elections. My friend D called me up for a surprise
I was supposed to give some Physical and Moral support on a suuuuper killer fitness gym training.
But was in store for me was that my friend had a free ticket to a Madonna concert.
And my friends were like " Go for it!!!"

So I went with D. It was freaking cold. He still was mum on the who were we were gonna seat thing. Especially when I saw a mile long line at the stadium, I was getting a bit nervous.
Parking too was crazy. I busied myself with the Iphone. Im a Nokia Loyalist, but I will ride on anyone's uber cool cellphone if they let me, so i was youtubing away while we were walking to the stadium.


The good news was, the long line was for the ticket line.
We already have tickets so all we really had to do was SQUEEEZE our way to the crazy Madonna crowd, some dressed up like her 80's Like a Virgin self.

I was floored when I realized where we sat. We were not exactly front roow, becuase there was front row, then there was the floor seating.
Basically what we had was the front row BEFORE the front seating. A good 100 Meters from the stage. WAAAY better than being up the stands.
D was diddling in his iPhone and through the crowd he said

" Obama won"

I have a shriller voice... so when I sain " OMG Obama won!" a wave of
"What?!" was heard around us.
Second...literally seconds later people were making calls confirming what we just said. And the crowed roared. Obama won.

10 Minutes later, the lights dimmed and the queen of pop came out. She was first wearing her basic leather wear, some butt naked dancers...but the kicker was when she screamed out,

Thank You for Voting!!!

And Obama's picture was behind her.
She later came out with an Obama T-shirt that was selling a shirt and an arm at the souvenir stand.

It was a great night.
A week later though I got sick. Found myself in the hospital with the worst of luck. However, Im glad I was part of history :-)
