Woke up yesterday morning with a sore throat and aching sinuses. Didn’t sleep much last night because I was always waking up to blow my nose and the sinuses have been shocking. I hate colds. 
Nothing terribly new to report. My life is pretty boring at the moment. I’m still tossing up whether or not I should go to the second Michael Buble concert in Brisbane. There’s a ’situation’ there so… yeah. Decision needs to be made.
So I haven’t posted in a while, but I have exciting news. I’m going to see Michael Bublé next year! 
I ended up going the Preferred Seating route for the first Bris show (June 2) as I’m one in a group of FIVE going (me, Mum, Kazz, Debs & Janey)! I didn’t really like my chances trying to buy 5 tickets through Ticketek - pre-sale or no. LOL Due to bank issues, we still had to buy the 5 tickets in two lots (a pair and a triplet) but hopefully we’re not all sitting too far away from each other - and that the tickets turn out good! (That’s the only problem with Preferred Seating - you don’t know where you’re sitting until you get the tickets! 
)
Anyway, the day the tickets went on general sale (which was 6 December, 3 days after I purchased our tickets), Elisa was trying to buy hers through Ticketek. She only needed three - for herself, Doug and her sister. When she got to Ticketek (at 8:30 QLD, which was 9:30 NSW time) there were only single seats left.
“What do I do now??” she asked me.
“The only thing you can do is to try the Mastercard site or go through Preferred Seating like I did.”
So she went to Preferred Seating only to see the announcement Second Brisbane Show Now On Sale!
“There’s a second show for Brisbane! The next night!” she said quickly.
“Get to Ticketek NOW!”
So she scrambled for Ticketek while I thought I’d have a look. To be honest, I was incredibly surprised the site hadn’t shut down like it does on ‘Red Sale’ days! Just for the heck of it, I thought I’d see what kind of ’single seats’ were available. It looked good. So I bought it. 
Yes, I am going TWICE - both of the Brisbane concerts. Monday 2 June will be with the aforementioned 4 in my group (plus Jess will be there with her hubby, I believe!) and Tuesday 3 June I’m going by myself (but I don’t care! :D) and Elisa, Martine, and Eve should be there as well with their respective partners/groups.
Now, see ticket below.
I feel like framing the damn thing. LOL
Now have a look at the seating chart(s) to see where that seat (probably) is. I HAVE A THIRD ROW SEAT!!!!! 
In the center!! Okay. Calm. *breathes* Granted, the seating can change between concerts, but this was two three entirely different seating charts & concerts and they both all had the same thing (the third was an ebay sale)… AA was Row 1. Eeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! *is super excited*
So how did I spend my night? Oh, just trawling YouTube for clips of Michael in concert. There are definintely worse ways to spend a night.
“I hate jazz. I think jazz is just… well, crap. Jazz is a blues band that fell down the stairs. *laughter* No, I want to retire. I want to do my own thing. I want to be a pop-star.” And so he does!
George Michael Medley!!
and him sitting down at the end leads right into…
Billie Jean!! Yes, the famous (infamous? LOL) ‘Michael does Michael (Jackson)’
Michael being “manly” by singing both Michael Jackson AND Johnny Cash (Ring of Fire)!! He actually does a very good Johnny!
This version of Billie Jean is much closer to what we saw in concert (though we never got the Johnny stuff, alas!). There’s also one here that’s complete with Moonwalk!
And lastly, him opening the Caught in the Act concert with Feelin’ Good. Hell. Yeah.
(this was capped from the DVD by the looks of it)
Total. And UTTER. Goofball. *loves him*
God, I wish they’d release Australian tour dates already!!!
