I just sent you an email to your board address. Not sure exactly what's going on at this point but I don't think the tailgate is happening.

You know where to find me at the Bank if we don't meet up beforehand.

Can't wait for the week to end. Not long hours, but the hard work has all been super-concentrated to the last 2 hours of each day. Barely made deadlines, etc. Feeling like my age for the first time in a long time. Maybe older.

Well hello sir! Good to see you around here!

Morning y'all.

Of course no need to answer if you don't want to, but have any of you been to a sporting event where you paid quite a bit of money for a ticket, moreso than you maybe would've thought you ever would because it was so important or rare?

(I get that's kind of a well, it's worth what you're willing to pay for it type of deal, but I'm struggling to justify this)

I am hoping to attend the Rose Bowl. I should be able to get tickets through the University of Iowa for face value. Demand is insanely high, though, and I'm going to be nervous until i have confirmation I've got them.

Anyways, just in case I get snubbed, I've been looking at ticket prices and for three of us, yes I know that's not a great number, if we wanted to buy tickets they're $900 a piece on the secondary market.. 5 times face value. Iowa hasn't been to a Rose Bowl in my lifetime however, and it's been a dream of mine and really my dad's to watch Iowa play there. I don't really want to risk not doing this while we can, life does come at us fast and sometimes unexpectedly.

I guess part of me really wants to do this no matter what, and another part of me says, that's a lot of money for a football game, and that doesn't include air, room, car, food, beer, etc.

Memories are worth more than anything. It obviously wouldn't just be Ftb (which I find boring as heck) but the whole experience. You are young enough that money is something you can make up by working a bit more later. Go for it.

For some, it's below written. ;)

But, I'd splurge on tickets if it was my only chance to see my team play.

I paid a lot extra for a $10 seat to the Wild's first ever home game. Also paid face value, but still expensive for MLB All-Star Game tickets at Target Field.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #180: Holiday Onslaught

I bet we could all think of something we agonized over spending the $$ and got way more joy out of it thn the time we spent there. The anticipation, the event and the ability to relive it a bunch of times....
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #180: Holiday Onslaught

As someone who has been fortunate enough to go to 4 Rose Bowls (2 on mommy & daddy's dime, 2 on the University's dime).....GO!

If you can afford it (even though you realize all the other stuff you could buy with that money), go. Don't go into debt buying tickets, but you deserve to splurge on yourself every once in awhile.

Make sure you go to the parade, the pep rally and all of the great pageantry associated with "the granddaddy of them all". Find out when the Iowa band will be performing at Disneyland and go get a picture of them performing in front of the castle. Even if your team loses, you will have memories for a lifetime.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #180: Holiday Onslaught

Good Morning Lodge.

Well, it's not my money so I think you should spend it. :p Anyway, yeah, go, have fun, take pictures.
