I should buy some lottery tickets.....

[Gofirstclass]

Last night GW and I were guests for dinner at the home of some friends we've gotten to know over the past year or so. They have a beautiful, new home that sits on 2.5 acres and is surrounded by their new vineyard.

There was another couple there for dinner, neighbors of the couple who invited us. We had met them briefly at an open house at the home of the coupe who invited us to dinner.

As we were talking, I took a seat at a breakfast bar in the kitchen, explaining that standing was tough on this old guy's back. The conversation turned to back problems that the three guys have and what we do to ease the pain. As the conversation progressed, the male half of the third couple mentioned that they were not going to be able to go to the Eagles concert in Spokane on Friday night. Both couples had already bought the tickets, front row center in a balcony overlooking the stage. The plan was to meet up with two other couples from our area who are also going to the concert, have dinner first then hit the concert.

The male then said "Mike, why don't you and Tina take our tickets? You could go in our place because my back won't allow it and enjoy the concert." I offered to buy his tickets but he wouldn't hear of it, saying if we didn't use them they'd go to waste.

So our plans for Friday have changed and we're headed to Spokane (150 miles) for dinner and a free Eagles concert!

Life is good.

Very nice! Have a great time! I actually did buy a few lottery tickets last night and ended up with six numbers! Trouble was they were on two different tickets- So no $11 million and no L650 SeaRay either

Sounds like great fun. Eagles music is classic - you hear the songs and immediately start smiling.

If you can get past the Henly and Frye egos.......................

+10 on that.
Some of the stuff I read about those two (years ago) was just plain childish. I never was the biggest fan but they really turned me off.

Enjoy the show GFC & perhaps your new friend would enjoy a nice bottle of scotch or something. Sure was nice of him to set you up.

Amazing that they still play music considering they basically hate each other.

I had the opportunity to attend their concert in Pittsburgh, great time & music. You would never guess they had issues, even joked about it on stage. Dude have fun, great concert

Well we went up to Spokane yesterday for the concert and what a day it was. We left here about 1:30, took our time and enjoyed the drive and got into Spokane about 4:00. Went to the place where we were having dinner and met up with the other 3 couples (we all knew each other) and had a drink before dinner. We ate at a place called Luna's and it was a real disappointment. My $32 scallop dinner had 3 lonely scallops atop some kind of green pea stuff. The rest of the meals were not any better.

We got to the concert about 7:00 and found our seats. The place was jam packed. The band started at 8:00, played for 1.5 hours, took a break and came back for 2 hours.

None of the egos came into play except for a few jokes about them by the band members themselves. Joe Walsh did an amazing job with his assortment of guitars. The vocals were great and we had a wonderful time.

We left Spokane around 11:30 and got home right at 2:00. A good time was had by all.
