the fight to break a family

{background}

back in like march, when rem announced that they would be touring, fan club members were given the opportunity to purchase tickets before they went on sale to the general public. mar and i decided together that we would get four tickets. hootie, tire man, mar and i were going to go to the rem show at shoreline ampitheatre, september 6th, 2003.

after the trip from hell to washington dc, mar and i haven’t really been on speaking terms. that did not however, stop us from going to matchbox 20 on june 7. it also didn’t stop us from having birthday dinner for boo on the 13th of last month.

mar decided after boos birthday that since i wasn’t talking to her or tire man that they didn’t want to see rem. this was a total shock to me. i was so mad about the fact that she was going to try to stick me with 3 tickets at $55 a piece. so, i told her that she’d better pay for her seats, that i wasn’t going to eat the tickets. she left me a check for the 3 rem tickets and the 2 matchbox 20 tickets from june.

just so we have this straight, tire man and mar made other plans that night, it has nothing to do with the fact that we aren’t talking.

Hi,
Have you sold the extra REM tickets yet? If you have not, I have someone that wants to by 2.
Let me know.
mar

now, everyone and their brother knows that technically mar did pay for these seats, and the right thing to do is to give her the tickets so she can sell them. i know it is the right thing to do. I DON’T CARE! i have absolutely no desire to do anything nice for my sister right now. she has been less than helpful, i’m not going to be helpful. let her eat the $150.

i’m going to let the seats sit empty.
