Is anybody else feeling the bite this summer concert season?  I have a feeling some are....

I feel like very little is in reach with all the pressures right now.  The price of everything is going up, up, up and the family business is suffering a recession to boot because clients are scared to spend money.  (Thank goodness one of us has a job outside!)  So, concerts, which after fees, a couple of pops and parking rarely come in for less than $100 for two people, are out of the question for the time being unless a really big deal hits the scene. 

Hey, but one did; a particular fast food chain (locally based, hint, hint) is running a great deal in which you buy a certain meal package and take the receipt to get a free concert ticket to some good shows.  The ad was in the Denver Post on May 31.  For a music-lover like me, it's a joyful thing that brought tears to my eyes.  Maybe it won't be such a dud summer after all...and maybe musicians won't be facing that awful demon of near-empty venues.  And maybe I'll rethink my snotty attitude toward fast food...
