{ attack of the scalper }

I made my way to webster hall...a favorite venue in the city

to meet some friends to see Mumford & Sons play

we had an extra ticket because someone bailed

no big deal, this happens all the time but what happened next, 

I'm going to forever call...Attach of the Scalper. 

We looked around to see if someone needed a ticket...

our price = face value, that's all we needed

and we looked over and saw a couple about to get played

by a scalper 

so my friends (not me...this will be important later)

tried to motion them to buy our tickets and save $10

we get our money back they get a ticket at face value

good, right?

bad idea

said scalper wasn't too thrilled about a little competition

he came storming over to me (guess I got singled out on this one) 

told me to stay the &*!#! away from his customers

and almost tried stabbing me with his umbrella

awesome. 

you might not believe what I did next but I yelled. 

it comes out when it needs to

I know, I know, I live in NYC and I probably should 

be a little more careful but I had my friends to back me up

and the big bouncer at Webster so it was cool 

(don't worry mom!)

we left the scalper on the street to terrorize someone else

while we went inside and enjoyed what I have to say

was one of the greatest shows I've ever been to

bands dream about playing New York City

and I'm glad I could be a part of that dream

....................................................................

the scalper told me his wife would be waiting for me

around the corner when the show got out...

she wasn't

but joe walked me to the subway just in case. 

the end.
