Making Cents Of It All

Hubby got offered some last minute tickets from the vendor that gave us the  Billy Joel  tickets. The vendor sent out an email that there still were tickets available last week. Hubby answered and said he would love them but didn't hear back until Tuesday afternoon that he could have them. The concert was Wednesday. I had plans with friends, but I explained and they all said to go to the concert. It is not every day that you get to go see the Eagles. The concert was AMAZING! We were dancing the whole night. My legs were killing me the next day. We were in a suite again so food and drinks were included. I had a big salad with a chicken sandwich with fresh mozzarella and pesto. They had quesadilla, hot dogs, chicken fingers, and pasta. There was also cookies, cupcakes, candy, chips and popcorn.  Drinks were beer, wine, soda and water. I don't drink so I stuck to water.

Hubby and I went to see Billy Joel at Madison Square Garden. The tickets were free to us. A vendor of Hubby's offered them to him. It was a private box with food and drinks included. We have never been in a private box there and it was so nice. There were about 30 people in the box. It was very large. The were seats for everyone with a food buffet and bar with bartender. They had hot dogs, chicken, pasta, salad, eggplant, veggie tray, chips, popcorn, candy, cookies and cupcakes. The bar had beer, wine, soda and water. . It was a great night out for Hubby and me.
