Sticky and Sweet
(Those are song lyrics, people. Get yo' mind out of the gutter. Oh, wait. They're Madonna lyrics. Go ahead and put your mind back in the gutter.)

OH.

MY.

GOD!

MADONNA.

CHICAGO.

OCTOBER.

IS LIFE GOOD OR WHAT?!!!!
I was just about to start a counseling session when MJagger burst into the office. She apologized to the client, indicating that this was IMPORTANT! She then announced to me and said client that Madonna is coming to Chicago and that she, MJagger, being a Madonna Icon Fan Club Member means she can buy up to four tickets in pre-sale and tickets go on sale Monday and WE. ARE. GOING!

She then high-fived me, which is totally uncharacteristic for MJagger.

She then blew out of the office, leaving me to try and do some semblance of counseling while trying to remain quietly in my seat.

Counseling? What counseling?
Kidding. I completed the session in a truly professional manner. I then searched the building for MJagger, but she was nowhere to be found. This left me to contemplate the meaning of Madonna tickets until she returned. Thankfully, she was not gone long and we were able to SQUEAL with delight about this whole beautiful adventure we are about to begin.

MADONNA!

Now, the reason for the title of this blog is because Madonna has named her tour "Sticky and Sweet," as related to her new "Hard Candy" tour. How great of a name is that? Truly Madonna worthy.

As for the tickets, we figure we have time to save up and pay for the premium priced tickets we will be purchasing on Monday. It will be an obscene amount of money to see Madonna in concert, but we are willing to SACRIFICE!

One less cup of coffee at Dunkin' Donuts a week. One less serving of McDonald chocolate chip cookies a week. One less bottled water. I'll get water out of the Rock River if I have to.
I.

MEAN.

BUSINESS.

The wife? Um, she won't be going to the concert. She went last time and wasn't exactly peeing in her pants with excitement. She knows MJagger and I are meant to be there, so she'll be good with it. If she changes her mind, she can sit in the "cheap" (relative term) nose-bleed seats. Or, she can stay home with MJagger's husband and make fun of us.

Cheap for Madonna tickets is not cheap. "Cheap" and "Madonna" are two words that are not congruent with each other. Can you say "house payment?"

Anyways, I know you can't sleep without knowing the Madonna STICKY and SWEET TOUR Itinerary for 2008, so I've posted it here. Here's to scoring some awesome tickets for the concert of the year and to not hyperventilating while desperately trying to secure the tickets on Monday.....
