re: Am I just a cliche’

The good ol' days, when people would wait in line to buy the latest album.

I remember walking around Blockbuster Music one day, and they were offering free tickets to a Megadeth concert with Korn, Fear Factory, and Flotsam and Jetsam. I filled out the little card, put it in the box, then went browsing around the store. The manager walked up to me a few minutes later, and said "Not too many people have filled out the card for the tickets, so here you go," as she handed me two tickets to the show.

I couldn't go, because I was working on a project for school at the time, so I gave the tickets to a heavy metal friend of mine.

Another time, a few years later, I was there checking out, and there was a sign on the register than said "No, we do not have 50 Cent, please stop asking."
