Living in new york is full of surprises. My english teacher asked us to write about this topic yesterday morning and i had lots to write about. before i get into school, i forget to update my blog when this happened....
....To explain, my roomate, Kalie is a huge Britney fan. Luckily enough she was playing three times last week at madison square gardens...which is 4 blocks up, a 4 minute walk (basically my house to marianopolis). So, having lived in a city before i was like well just scalp tickets (DUH). Our friend alexa had also done it the night before... So, Kalie went out on a mission to find a scalper. i get a text message saying COME TO 32nd STREET NOW. so, i jump out of my lovley nap, grab my 80$ and try to find her. I find her and she's standing with our friend Jane and a scrawny, oldish looking black guy whos chatting and very happy. So, i give him the money, he gives me back change. He looks at Kalie and says "kalie, i love you", looks at me and says "skinny girl, you fine and you were so worth waiting for", and looks at jane and says something along the lines of "you are a really hot asian" girl. i laughed. houray we have tickets. We head back to our room, having an hour to kill, grab some food and head back. We get to madison square gardens, ask the police man to take a picture of us, walk inside get some britney perfume and then to the lines to scan the tickets. I was the first to go...the guy takes me tickets and scans...and i'm sure you can guess what happened. A big X shows up on the scanner and he tells us to go to the booth to the left of us...we go and without even hesitating the guy takes a big stamp and places COUNTERFEIT on our tickets. I officially learnt my first new york lesson. bbooo. i thought it was pretty funny, it sucked but still...come one..i thought the funniest part was Jane and I are both canadian..obviously we would trust the dude. haha the best comment was Kalie saying, I"M GOING TO HAVE HIM ARRESTED....i replied "kalie, you can't, because you'd be arrested too, buying scalped tickets is illegal"...she didn't really enjoy that comment so she stormed out of the stadium and ran across the street looking for him...don't ask what she was going to do. I'm glad she didn't find him.
