So close . . . yet so far!

Do you have good luck or bad luck?  Well, sometimes I tend to think I'm luckier about some things than others.  Winning things . . . . not so much luck.
 The past few weeks KTLO radio station has been registering people for a chance to win two tickets to the 2011 Goin Coastal Concert featuring none other than Kenny Chesney!  Also, Zac Brown Band, Billy Currington, and Uncle Kracker.  Earlier this week, July 19th to be exact, I boogied up to High Country Motors to enter in the drawing to be held today, Friday July 22nd.
They narrowed down all the entries by having daily drawings.  They would draw and you had xx number of minutes to call in to be put in the grand prize drawing.  Yesterday morning they drew my name....and I didn't hear it!  Luckily someone my sister works with heard it and they told me.  So, I called the station and they put me in the grand prize drawing!  I was so excited.  A rush of enthusiasm and energy just filled me!
So today was the day.  I even dressed for the occasion and wore my 2005 concert tee from the "Somewhere in the Sun" tour.  About 11:30 they drew names to go from the top 25 names to the top 10.  After a phone call from friends and family calling to say, "Lindsay, do you know you're in a drawing for some grand prize?" or "Lindsay, they're fixing to go the top 10." My niece called me and says, "You're in a drawing. Did you know that? Who's it for?" When I told her Kenny Chesney tickets I think she could have melted! haha
So I rushed to the car to hear the top 10 drawing.  My name wasn't drawn :''(  So, I wasn't so lucky.  But hey!!!  I was a little lucky and felt great being in the top 25.  How awesome it would have been to go to one of his stadium concerts.  It would be an epic concert for any true Kenny fan.  But, it was great just being in the top 25 out of hundreds of entries.

Afterall . . . . I have seen him already six times, one of those being May 1994 (his first year on a major tour..my sister got his autograph and will not give it to me. She doesn't even like him!) and the last being April 1, 2011.   I guess we'll have to try again for next year's tour!!

Until next time . . . .
