I Prayed to the Luck Gods and They Laughed at Me.

Anyone want to buy 12 Phish tickets?

I can’t say I wasn’t warned. When I told my friends I was going to enter myself into the automatic-buy Phish lottery for all four nights of the Miami run, they told me to be careful. But really.. contrary to previous post re: Blues Traveler, I just don’t win stuff. Plus, the odds of me getting all 16 tickets were just not in my favor.

I went to the bank today to pull out some cash, but BofA kindly notified me that if I did so I would incur overdraft fees as my account was -$420. (No really - I did not choose that number because I’m trying to be funny or ironic. I had NEGATIVE $420.23.)

Panicking, I checked my latest transactions only to find that I was now the proud holder of 16 - count ‘em - 16 Phish tickets.

Thankfully I pulled cash from another account to put me back into the green for a day or two. Gods of luck willing, I’ll be able to make a profit on my extra tix to pay for that trip down to Miami-ami.

I got some intel that says these tix may not sell for as much as I hope. But right now, all I can think about is PHISH, NYE, MIAMI! Oh, and did I mention we’ll be sitting in level one, row 11?

NEW YEARS EVE 2009 - PHISH IN MIAMI

No better way to wipe the slate clean and bring in the new year than with my best friend, some warm weather and a band that makes my bones tingle (in a good way). Now I just have to get tickets.
