The Rock Show

Last night Branden bought tickets to the Blink 182/Weezer concert. He did it because he knows I want to go... But I feel worried, and a little bad, that he did. This is hard to explain because I have really wanted to see Blink 182 since I found out that they reunited this past spring but... We don't have a lot of money and I don't think Branden is as interested as I am. Even though I didn't ask him to buy them, and even made a half-hearted attempt to talk him out of it, I feel a little guilty and selfish. We could probably use that money for something more important... Or more concrete.

At the same time, I'm pretty excited. The last time Blink 182 toured, I couldn't make it to the show and said to myself, "That's ok, I'll just go next time!" Then they decided to take a break for a few years. I've enjoyed some of the music they've released with other bands in the last few years, but I was beginning to think this break was going to be permanent. Thankfully, I was wrong. :) I suppose I should also mention that I've never managed to make it to a Weezer show so I'm looking forward to seeing them as well.

Branden is being extra nice because he's a big fan of country and I haven't ever gone to a single country concert for him. It's not that I haven't been willing, but things just never worked out. We were going to go to concerts in Wendover a couple times but lack of planning and bad weather prevented us from ever making it. It's not that we often go to concerts for me, but we have made it to a couple in the last two years. Guess that's the other reason I'm feeling a little guilty about this: He bought tickets to a show I wanna see and we've never gone to one for him. I guess I'd better make sure we make it to some shows of his choosing soon.
