12-12-12 Concert to Benefit Hurricane Sandy Best Gig Ever!

OK so it's April 6th.. and there has been many issues since returning from New York.. One, my computer being down and I lost all that momentum & excitement for posting about this historic event...  plus loosing all my files music pics, ..well, you get the point ... Who saw the 12-12-12 gig? wasn't it the best freaking gig ever?!  Me thinks so.. I got to New York a few days early.. stayed off 57th ave.. didn't know it takes forever and a day to get to Madison Square Garden...over 2 hours on the day of the event.. wall to wall traffic...I averaged 4-5 hours of sleep a night.. as I was running on adrenaline and couldn't adjust to the time difference...My friend Anthony arrived a few hours early & we were waiting on my friend Jen~ ha!


I think we left about 5:20pm and took Jen's car.. of course we got turned around and ended up driving around Central Park..We kept crossing streets and finally got to our destination. and parked as we frantically hurried into Madison Square Garden for me to sign for the tix.. Whewww success- and we were in.. I was almost running to the box office because I heard or was told if we didn't pick up our tickets at a certain time.. they could re-sell them... WTF? As I headed to the box office I saw a crowd waiting behind a carpeted rope. to see if they could get stand-by tickets.. What a scene inside.. I think Madison Square Garden is beautiful....  be back I gotta find pics since everything was lost on my computer

We were all excited beyond belief..we actually got our tix in hand after getting lost and taking what ?2 hours and 45 minutes to get there.. So it was off for some beers and to find our seats... I was on the floor next to the camera's and all musical equipment being escorted in and out.. I think one of the most climatic parts of the show was before it actually  started ... the count down to show time The gig would be shown all over the world.. 30 seconds 30 seconds still show time 20 seconds 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1!

 2-12-12 Concert For Hurricane Sandy- Charity Relief

.. Hey people,. it's been weeks and months since I posted on my blog- close to a year now.  Such a difficult year for many, myself included. I know I have to complete the Liverpool gig from last year..and  I will . As you know; the east coast was hit by the devastating Sandy affecting millions of people especially those hardest hit  in New York, New Jersey & Connecticut tri-state area.. Someone had the brilliant idea to hold a  relief gig for those affected..Small whispers began to appear on the net & Facebook a few weeks ago and now has become a reality.. What a great gig to attend if one could get tix,.right?

.
The Concert For Sandy Relief to Benefit The Robinhood Relief  Fund


100% of the proceeds of the 12-12-12 gig at Madison Square Garden in NY, on Dec 12th  will go to those  affected by Hurricane Sandy. What appeared to be a local event has now exploded into a world-wide event to be broadcasted all over the world.. Wow! 12-12-12 gig will be televised in the North & South America,
Europe, Africa, Asia & Australia...


I  Wanna Go How do I get tix!!

When I heard about the up coming gig  I said to myself,. I had to go..Paul McCartney,  was to perform,  I had to find a way. The chances of getting tickets were very slim to none..This is such a huge event that tickets would be in huge demand.. I started out my quest yesterday. I woke up at 5am west cost time.. and got ready for the Chase pre-sale at 9am. for me that was 6am  Coffee made; I logged onto Madison Square Garden link.. 6am sharp I started out for tix ..sold out!  what? I tried a few more times- nothing.  I quickly went to Ticketmaster and frantically started my search.. just than my cell rang- it was a friend from the east coast. who, I wanted to get a ticket for -also..Telling me to call TM. I was sure Ticketfast did not have the pre-sale option..
So while searching.. I phoned TM.. not available...10 mins into the sale I found a ticket! Yeah!  It took 2 plus hours to find 3 single tickets.  According to the New York Times.. only 13,500 were made available  for the entire gig.. One of the organizers was quoted as saying ' don't buy tickets from secondary sites'..I know a few Paul McCartney fans who did get tickets via Stub- hub.. I feel very fortunate to have scored tix.  Fans were rather pissed off they could not access either the Chase pre-sale or the general public sale.. blocks of tix were made available on Stub- hub.. made me feel bad that the average person was locked out to such a stellar gig raising money for a great cause...

Wasn't 12-12-12 the Best gig ever?!

more to come- several blog posts re: the gig & SNL... sometime this week...

TO BE CONTINUED STAY TUNED!
