I discovered a confirmation email in my spam folder from verify by visa, later. i think this is what snagged me up on getting more tickets as they allowed me the first sale, and then declined my card on my other attempts to go back and get 3 more...it let me make 12 attempts all the way up til nearly 4am pst. anyway, it seems if i had seen the email confirmation in my spam and clicked on the link, i would have not had my card declined on the other 3. live and learn! now when do we start to see what the best time and airlines to get those tickets sorted and do we just chip in and get a really big hotel suite???? ;-0 birdie Sent from my iPad > On Mar 29, 2014, at 8:48 PM, FJ wrote: > > Big thanks to Birdie for working to share every advantage available, and (possibly inadvertently) initiating our subsequent attack to the challenge. > > Sent from my iPad > >> On Mar 29, 2014, at 11:10 PM, Birdie wrote: >> >> so happy it worked out for most everybody in the end. >> >> I've got opening night and am working my way backwards from there. >> >> birdie >> >> Sent from my iPad >> >>> On Mar 29, 2014, at 7:52 PM, FJ wrote: >>> >>> Our tix are over the 9/23-26 period.

I love her two most recent albums, especially, but don't listen to them nearly enough. Now I need to check out Emily Barker! Embarrassingly, we haven't bought anything yet this year--nothing has caught me enough, so I keep listening to all the great things from last year. And, seriously, thank you so much for introducing me to Melissa Laveaux. She's a new utter favourite. It was a pain getting physical copies of her discs (had them mailed to my parents' address in Canada) but worth every penny and the wait. - --Neile On Mar 28, 2014, at 10:44 PM, Karen Hester wrote: > New Tori song 'Trouble's Lament', little country ditty with Dylanesque > lyrics.
