Glad to hear it Bev. I know you'll have a wonderful time! I don't think I'll be attending anything this time around. Money and time prevent it, not to mention there's nothing close to me. The nearest I'll get will be Peter White later this month (front row). Maybe he can say hello to her for me :-) Dennis - ------Original Message------ From: Bev Okin-Larkin Sender: owner-basia@smoe.org To: basia@smoe.org ReplyTo: beejmart@swbell.net ReplyTo: basia@smoe.org Subject: Got my ticket for LA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow... I thought all the front row seats were gone... I was on a few days ago for the "American Express PreSale" and the closest row they showed was row M so I just forgot about making the trip. I found an airfare for $210 and I have a COUPON that would take $75 off of that... so I actually considered going out to LA for the San Diego and LA shows... The site did not even look like it did today where you highlight the exact seat you want... Lonnie has been told his job with IBM and Michelin will be outsourced so I really did not want to add the strain on his concern but had I been able to get front row... I think I would have voted for the "strain." Oh.... well.... ENJOY... I am so HAPPY for you..... thelma ________________________________ From: Bev Okin-Larkin To: basia@smoe.org Sent: Fri, April 9, 2010 1:19:07 PM Subject: Got my ticket for LA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thelma, I am so sorry to hear about Lonnie's situation. I'm so fortunate to have my job with the state (I retire in 8 yrs, I pray!), infuriates me to hear younger co-workers complaining about their job when so many are being forced out of work. Anyway, American Express lied. I got with two dear friends of mine who had Amex Gold Cards to HELP me get tickets on Wednesday and I talked to two Ticketmaster representatives....for some reason the Amex people DID NOT get the best seats offered to them - I was offered 201-203. I asked the person I had why section 102 (house front center) was not available - I even called back and talked to another representative to verify, which is why I posted on fb that the LA tickets WERE on sale today and not 4/10/10. The reps told me to call on Friday - which I did, and I must have been like the first person in the queue, and I only wanted one ticket...so I am in 102/A1. I'm thrilled with the spot. (Aside - my two friends who are Amex Gold cardholders were miffed their Gold card thingie DIDN'T get them an exclusive....)

We have the Platinum card because all of our kids have gone and are going to school in Hawaii so it pays us to use that card... I love how people may think we are rich because the kids have gone to Hawaii for school but it is actually cheaper than them going to any school in South Carolina.. including Furman University just 5 miles away.... (The cultural experience is priceless... 2400 students and 70 countries represented.) I love to study how people think they are better than others because they have money. ok... that was off topic... it was the first time I even tried to get the "Pre Sale" good tickets... ha ha..... thelma ________________________________ From: Bev Okin-Larkin To: basia@smoe.org Sent: Fri, April 9, 2010 8:02:26 PM Subject: Re: Got my ticket for LA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
