They Might Be Giants, but I won't find out

I might be fated to never see TMBG perform. When I was in college they came to Harvard to perform, and all my friends went and pronounced it awesome, but I was too sick to go. Now I have tickets with [livejournal.com profile] bercilakslady, who is awesome to see things with, but I... am too sick to go.

This being a grownup thing sometimes sucks. I can't help thinking that if I'd called out Thursday and Friday I'd have the strength to go to tonight's concert... but that would have been irresponsible.

Wah.

Oh how sad!

*offers tea and cold medicine*

What time is the concert? Maybe you'll feel better later?

:(

I'm sorry! I wish you'd been able to go. But man, you know? I think I'm too old for concerts! Even not being sick, the very idea of them makes me weary!

So sorry to hear this. If you can't go, I hope you can send a friend in your place.

I don't know... cold don't tend to go easily on you. Probably you'd still be sick even if you had called out.

Sucks that you can't go.

I hope you rally at the last minute! *hug*

I'm sorry you can't go. Can I offer you one (or more) TMBG shows, in audio, to make up for it a little?

Missing something you've looked forward to really sucks! Is there something wonderful you can plan for when you get better?

I am so sorry. :( Please take care of yourself, with help as possible?

I'm sorry to hear it....I have never been able to see John Sebastian in concert for pretty much the same reasons, so I understand.

Oh no! It is a venue with seats, at least, so maybe you could go and sit down and bring a lot of hankies and blow your nose between songs?

That might be sucky. Well, I'm among those rooting for you to feel better when the time arrives, if it's not already too late.

That sucks. :( I'm sorry.

I know just how you feel. I had corporate VIP tickets to see Steely Dan at Chastain Park a few years ago, and game down sick the day of the concert and couldn't go. I was *so* completely miserable to miss it, because I'd been looking forward to it for a month!

*hugs* I do hope you're feeling better and are able to go. Take care of yourself, in any event.

*hugs* I'm so sorry! But I'm glad you're going to give yourself a chance to get better anyway. *more hugs*

*hugs you* I'm really sorry you couldn't join me, sweetie. You are a lot of fun to go to things with. :)
I got a copy of their new CD for you.

That really sucks. [livejournal.com profile] bercilakslady called me to see if I could go in your place, but with two crazed sprogs that wasn't going to happen tonight. (I hope she found someone...)

awww :( *hug*

that's really sad. hope you get to see them the next time they come through.

Oh bleah. I've only ever managed to see them once, and that was by dint of it being local and free. I understand your frustration. I seem to have the same thing going with Barenaked Ladies, and a few others.

*hugs you* I hope you're feeling better.
