You wanted the best, you got the best…

Finally, after what feels like forever, KISS have decided to do an arena tour of the UK. This means I will get the chance to go and see them live in either Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham or London.
Pre-orders started today and I completely forgot I had O2 Priority which means I could have used that… it took until 11:00 to realise which meant that I missed out on the best seats but still got some great ones.
Yes, if it wasn’t obvious from the previous sentence, I have tickets!! The LG Arena, Birmingham will be host to Kiss, the Kiss Army and ME on 5th May 2010! I can’t wait.
And if you thought I was excited you should have seen my Mum when I asked her if she wanted to see Kiss, then told her it’s a good thing I got two tickets then!
It should be great. My first Kiss concert and, from what I hear, these things are like sex, you always remember the first time…
Rock and roll all nite and party every day!! If you are going to the LG too on the 11th May feel free to comment and let me know… especially if you are in Block 16, Row YA, Seat 498 or 501 as I have 499 – 500!
Looking at the seating plan from LG it seems I will be right up close to the stage on Gene’s side. Wow! If only Tommy went on that side to do his solo… I guess he could well be firing those rockets right at me.
Still not decided on going to Wembley on the 13th too. VIP treatment plus seating in roughly the same area as I have for the LG for £169. This includes a before and after party, cloakrooms, the works. But, I will be going alone and if alone I would prefer standing up front somewhere – I can’t do this at the LG as my Mum wouldn’t survive a mosh pit!!
Woo, so excited and it’s given me something to look forward to. So I never made the goal of seeing Kiss before I reach 30 but it’s only a few months off and I paid for the tickets before I hit 30 so I think it’ll count.
Now for 4 hours sleep so I can wake up at 4am and watch the live stream of Kiss on facebook (who’s idea was it to have it at 8:30PST?!)

Who says there’s a recession?!

I think I must be one of the only people to be complaining about being too busy at the moment… if you saw my current workload you would not think we are still in a recession, or if you heard me complaining about it. But I guess it’s better to have too much work than none at all at the moment. Rich Pyke Computer Services is going strong (and earning me loads of money!)

Just picked up another new client too which is good. Found me on the internet but couldn’t find my number – I guess I better fix that! But they seemed fine with the standard rates and 14 day terms (for the first 3 months at least).

Other crap, well Microsoft have decided to go on another ban wave for Xbox live against all those with modified consoles, play early etc. So far I have been lucky (at the time I write this) and haven’t been caught this year… that said I have bought a new console just in case. Argos had a good deal and it finished today so thought what the hell… if nothing else I now have yet another Xbox 360 to add to the ever growing collection (currently 6) and it’s one closer to getting that multi screen Forza setup going.

Speaking of Forza, the latest one is now out and I have been playing it like it’s going out of fashion. Now you can make and sell vinyl groups and my KISS logos, number plates, mushroom from Mario, Goomba and Pudsey bears are selling pretty well. Also have a nice charity car up too, each one downloaded will add another 1p to my Children In Need donation – currently at about 19p… I think I need to up that 1p to £1 at this rate but hey, I haven’t exactly promoted it.

But what is it with electricity companies? More to the point, what is it with power cuts? In this day and age you would have thought that they would have sorted it out so that if something goes down it doesn’t take out half of the town… but no!! Two power cuts in 3 three days, both when it’s been dark and cold… not good!

Anyway, got a new episode of two and a half men nearly ready to watch in bed so I will have to bid you good bye… for now.
