Some fantasies never go away

If you read my high school yearbook (but please don’t, because it’s quite embarrassing) you’d find one thing listed under the cheesy “Secret Fantasy” portion that you’re required to fill out: Eddie Vedder and an acoustic guitar.

Wow, I was lame. That was my fantasy? And “an acoustic guitar”? Does it get any more cliché than that? In any case, I’ve decided to relive my high school days, and I just dished out the $90.00 to get floor tickets to Eddie Vedder’s solo show at Massey Hall. If anyone hasn’t seen a show at Massey Hall — do it! Now!

Concert-going is emptying my wallet pretty fast this summer. In the span of a week I will be going to see both Vedder and Dylan, both of which cost pretty lofty sums of cash. But there are far worse places that money can go than sitting a few rows away from Eddie Vedder, while violently undressing him with your eyes. Needless to say, I don’t I’ll be doing the same thing at the Dylan show!
