a man of wealth and taste

Rolling Stones concert tonight, and i'm invited!

yes, Thurston, wonderful fellow that he is, took me to my first Rolling Stones concert back in September. i was happy, thinking that it was probably the one and only time i would see the old guys play a show, bearing in mind how freaking old they are.

well, come 2006 and a private benefit concert being put on at Radio City Music Hall. tickets are only available to those who have donated to Robin Hood (an amazing charity--"venture philanthropy," they call it). lo and behold, T is a Robin Hood donor (since meeting me and JadedDad, who are great supporters of the foundation) and gets the passcode to obtain tickets.



and now we have seats in the center of row A of one of the mezzanines. yay, Thurston! and yay for me since seeing the Stones in a venue of this size promises to be awesome.

we'll be hitting Cité Grill for dinner prior to the show, which includes a three-hour open bar. the B-52's* are opening, which i that much cooler since they just played the Planet on my favorite non-HBO-pay-cable show, The L Word.**
