So in the Summer of 2001

[Mike]

I was heavy into my Radiohead fandom around that time. Heading into my last semester, I heard they were gonna tour Chi-town that year. I rallied the troops and sent word that a concert attendance must be had. Welp, after standing in line for a couple of hours at the Ticketmaster outlet in Manhattan, they opened the window up. After about 30 seconds the show sold out. I double checked and Ohio tickets were still available but nobody wanted to go. I wasn't seeing Radiohead. I made a vow to myself right there, that I would see them before I die.So tomorrow it will happen.I reinstalled my linux laptop and updated the software. The new camera's batteries are charged. I printed out maps to places I want to see on the way (Booche's in Columbia look out). I have the rest of the week off of work. I've had a couple of beers. Most importantly, I have my ticket (well and the car that's gonna take me there).After all of this build up, I'm just not excited. Not yet. Maybe it's the toil of preparation or maybe I'm just tired from a hard day's work or maybe I'm saving my anxiety for the show tomorrow. At any rate, a dream going on 7 years will come true tomorrow. I hope tomorrow alot of dreams will come true for others. At the least, I hope we will get to enjoy the experience and I hope to meet some of you out there.Until then, have a good night. I'm going to have ONE more beer.....
