I need help!

A friend has a free ticket for me to the Fox tonight to see "Broadway Presents, All Shook Up". A musical/comedy review with Elvis music. The problem is I don't really feel like going. I want to go home and watch the American Idol special and relax in my own living room. Will I regret not going to the Fox tonight? Help me please!!

I have learned to say no when I don't feel like doing something. It took me a long time to get there. If you really want to go home and curl up in your own living room, then that is what I would do. Plus, the special is going to be good tonight. ;-)

I know! Thanks for the advice. I am also learning to be honest when necessary. Or at least I'm doing better.

Steele Mama, I understand the desire to want to sit at home on your nice comfy sofa and watch a little TV. The truth is, they will broadcast that episode of American Idol again, and you will probably watch it in the future. The show at the Fox and the invitation, is fairly unique.

I am often reminded by my little everyday life experiences, that my memory is mostly made up of unique experiences. I tend to forget about all of the sitting at home and hours of television watched. The things which I remember are events like going to see a play, a paddle on my canoe on a particular lake, a concert which I attend, the moment on the beach when I see a Sea Turtle, when an old friend comes to visit, eating breakfast with some people who claim that their transmission broke leaving them trapped in SoWal, etc. It is a compilation of all of these different than norm things, which I tend to treasure most when reflecting on life. A calm day at the beach is nice, but to be on the beach during a storm, that is something to remember. Take that ticket and experience a night at the Fox. The tv will still be in your house when you return.

PS- you can always catch American Idol in segments on youtube.com.

I knew someone was going to say that! Fortunately for me, I do get to go to the Fox somewhat often, not saying that I wouldn't totally enjoy the performance. I know I would love it. Also, I am a little spoiled with the Coke seats and I don't know where I will be sitting. It won't be the seat I have grown accustomed to.

just say no !

You're not going to like my answer any better than SJ's because I agree with him. I'd never turn down a chance to see a live performance, especially at the beautiful Fox theatre.

I know what you mean about wanting to stay at home, but I also know that every single time I've had the choice, and I've "made myself" go out, I've always been glad that I did.

Steele Mama, you know you can trust my advice because I'm an Idol fan just like you.

I also just checked the Idol schedule and tonight it is 1 hour with the final six performing. Tomorrow is 2 hour with all the special guests, Carrie U. Celine D, etc., etc, etc,
I really need a date though. Plus I will spend $$ on dinner and parking. How can people afford to go when they have to actually pay for a full price ticket? I'm still waffleing, waffeling.

I don't know what I am doing so I am just sitting at work.

So.... do tell, what did you decide to do?

When I lived in Atlanta, we had season tickets to all the muscials....I always enjoyed going to the Fox...and I saw some awesome productions there! Phantom, Miss Saigon, Damn Yankees(with Jerry Lewis), Sound Of Music (with Marie Osmond), Chicago, some play with Matthew Broderic, and another with the guy from the Partridge family.... I can't remember his name...but I had the biggest crush on him...and he was pretty good in the play.
All told, the Fox is awesome!!!! Arabian Nights!!!! Twinkling lights!
Let us know what you did SM!!!

So.... do tell, what did you decide to do?

Well, it's 10:00 PM. Melinda and Jordin were fabulous, Heather Mills just got voted off Dancing with the Stars and I am turning off the TV and computer and going to bed early to make use of the time I saved by not going to the Fox tonight. I wish I could've seen the show but there's always another show! I knew I would be disappointed either way so I opted for not being tired too. Thanks for all the good advice! ;-)

Sigh sigh. What AM I going to do with you, Steele Mama?? JK. I have to admit everyone sang beautifully tonight on Idol so it really wasn't a bad use of an evening. Even though I wanted you to go to the Fox. ;-)
