Aimee Mann's here in concert tonight.

I have not secured a ticket.

Worse, I was handed a freelance editing job Thursday that is due Friday at noon, and it's going slow.

I have to be out of town Tuesday and Wednesday on state business.

Which means I essentially have about 20 hours of free time to do what appears to be about 30 hours of work.

I can't stand the thought of missing Ms Mann.

I can't blow this project.

Help me oh FOTdom!

I have always found a way, one way or another, to do the crap I need to do. I'm not saying it would be easy, or that it would be the best thing you ever did, but you know what I mean.

You are such a big fan of AM that I think, if you miss her, you're going to regret it.

Let's say 20 years from now ... are you going to be saying to yourself, "gee I did a good job on that freelance project!" or "Man I am so glad I saw Aimee"?

Go to the concert homeboy.

Go go go go go. The two or three hours you will spend at the show will be infinitely more enjoyable than the hours you would spend sort-of working and wondering if you should have gone.

It's at The Bijou.....box of wine palace.

Do your work.  I believe Tom gave similar advice to someone with a similar quandary not too long ago.

Oof ... Sarah weighs in w/some wise words ...

[Andy]

Shirk you responsibilities for some fun. It's what adulthood is all about, right?

[dave from knoxville]

Geez Louise, I hope Tom comes back someday so I can share this story with you guys.

For the record: I would have gone.  For the first time ever I've been a bad group member on a school project.  I went to a football game instead of working on a paper and I'm feeling bad.  I did more than my fair share on the last one, though.
