My older sister lives in Tampa. Gives me a reason to visit her, too!
HaHa, the heck with relatives! You know the first thing I did was check to see if there was a Penguins/Lightning game in and around the concert date. There's not...

Well - I don't have any relatives in Florida, but I did check the NFL schedule and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are playing at home against the San Diego Chargers on Sunday, Nov. 11. Also, my Dolphins are playing a home game in Miami, and the Redskins have a bye that week. But no matter what - Glenn in Florida in November is better than Christmas in July. I'm so there!!!

I forgot you were a Fish fan, Dreamer. Hmm... Bucs/Chargers. It would be easy to get tickets, but I'd have to think about it. I'd have to cheer for the Bucs, of course. The Steelers play Monday night, so I wouldn't miss that game.

It won't happen for me unfortunately - realistically concerts during term time are not easy to co- ordinate. Anyway I'm still putting my eggs in the 'European Tour' basket and hopefully something will come of that.

We are about to find out just how understanding my boss is! I turned in a very aggressive schedule (the day before this concert was announced) that had a big software release being delivered to the customer on 11/09, same day as I would travel to this event. There were two more scheduled after it, one in Dec and one in Jan. The customer informed us today we would have it all complete and delivered by 11/21. Which means massive effort and overtime between now and then.
I said to my boss afterwards, 'what if one of your employees planned on being in Tampa two weekends before that?' His response? 'There must be an Eagles concert that weekend.' Gotta love it when you get them trained like that! I did set him straight that it was Glenn solo. It doesn't escape me that he didn't answer the question... The plus side is that he didn't say 'no'. Unless he absolutely forbids it (since it's a weekend I'm not sure he could) I'll go but will need to work every waking hour except for concert hours and will need to find a plane that has wifi. The worst part of all this is that there is absolutely no way we can get this done in time

What can I say VA after my little 'situation' with my Boss last May! If its any help to you I know my Delta plane from LA to Atlanta on the way home from Glenn s Wiltern gig had wireless on it. I hope you can make this without too much hassle.
Thanks for the good vibes Dreamer! Love ya

I hope things work out for you, VA! Keeping everything crossed!
