August 2008, Tom finally comes to my province,
(maybe he did before but it was long, long ago)
so I was there, the morning the presales went on sale, member of the highway companion club and everything, used a friends credit card to make the order of three tickets, which it had to be three for such an occasion, Im sure you call can relate, ANYWAY, so 7 months later the concert is here, I drove the 7 hours, took the boyfriend and his friend along with me since my mom couldnt come with me (she had surgery to get a lump removed / cancer and had a drip bag attatched to her so she couldnt come).....best friend couldnt come because her hubby was in Afganistan and she couldnt get a babysitter)....so there I was at the concert with my boyfriend (very new boyfriend) and his friend . Well now, THREE songs into Tom and the boys playing we were escorted out of the concert, yes thats right, because my boyfriends friend was passed out drunk, he had been drinking all day, meanwhile I was just starting to enjoy myself since I was really upset that my mom wasnt there with me, and especially the reasons why, and I ended up with a nice big bruise on my arm from the big butch bitch that escorted me out with them, and the boyfriend lost an 100 dollar bill of mine at the concert and after the concert we got in a huge fight which turned violent. I havent been able to listen to tom since without feeling horrible in the pit of my stomach and just wanting to run in the nearest corner and cry for at least 30 minutes . I know its part my fault, I should have went there alone .
I just had to share my story for some reason.
because I know someone who reads it will know how awful I feel . anyway, Not looking for outpours of sympathy or understanding or what have you, I just needed to tell yall here my story for better or for worse, some kinda purging *shrug* There it is . thats the story.

Wow that's awful!

You dumped the boyfriend right?

I don't know I'd transfer the music into an experience with a bad date.

I hope your Mom is getting better and your new dates will go a heck of a lot better.

Wow that sucks!

I don't get why you had to leave if you weren't acting up? Personally, I would have told the security person that I wasn't with those people and stayed right where I was and dealt with their sorry asses later... I surely hoped you dumped the boyfriend and made the friend atleast reimburse you for the cost of your ticket.

Hope your mom is better and someday you will be able to listen to TPATH again without feeling bad That sucks.

I'm really sorry to hear that Augustina.
Some people know exactly how to spoil a moment.

I as well hope you mom is doing better.

How bizarre. You should not have been held responsible for his behavior. How could a guy lose his girlfriends money? What a crock. You should be fully reimbursed by both of them let them be. Hope mom is much better. Tom will tour again, and really hope you make it there.

That's my thought: "I really don't have any idea who these people are! Honest!" Although I know how concert security can be -- they don't give a shit -- they'll throw people out indiscriminately, even if you weren't really with them.

That really sucks, and I know what that feeling is like. Something like that can almost ruin the music part of your life for a very long time, but it does get better with time.

thanks everyone
