CHAPTER ONE
FRONT ROW SEATS
It is a universal truth that a grown woman can revert to adolescence with the sheer thought of being in the presence of her favorite band from high school. Some regress even beyond that point. And that is just what happened as my best friend and I walked down the interior hall of my office building. Mary Beth, my BF, climbed and jumped all over me the way a three-year-old would. She pawed for our newly acquired treasure, “Ollie, come on, lemme see. Are they as good as you promised?”
“Chill, MB!” I said pushing her away. I wasn’t annoyed, but the problem was her mauling deterred me from my opportunity to gawk at the paper in my hands. I wanted to bask in the glow. I read aloud to Mary Beth, “Concert featuring Heaven at the Mobile Civic Arena…Section Floor, row one,” I flipped to each ticket, “seat one, seat two, and seat three. And don’t forget the meet and greet.” I sighed, “I am so dyin’.”
“Holy crap, me too,” Mary Beth squealed still acting like a three-year-old and grabbing the tickets. “Remember the nosebleeds we had for their concert back in high school?” She ogled the booty now in her palms.
“Yeah, even the jumbotron looked tee-niny. You know, I had to do a lot of begging for the board to approve the Arena as one of their tour dates. None of those ‘ole fogies think they’ll bring a crowd – but they will and they’re going to be spectacular,” I boasted with a dazed look on my face and my eyes batting like a Monarch in mid-migration.
