Prelude to a Show:
Alberta Cross advertised a chance to win tickets to a show
of your choice by signing up with their website for email alerts. I signed up
for the 10/26 Charlottesville show at The Jefferson Theater and dutifully
checked my email for the rest of the evening and through most of the next day.
Nothing.
Defeated, I came home from work, made dinner and put on my
pajamas (you know where this is going right?). I climbed in bed around 7:00pm
to spend some time online, but wait… what’s this? An email from the management
team for Alberta Cross with a time stamp of 12:30pm? How did I miss it? Is
there still time? Could I really get dressed, grab gear (pen, notebook, camera,
etc…) and get from Richmond to Charlottesville in time?
