I was really struggling to recall this party until I saw the "VIP" on the ticket.  I have vague memories of many friends and co-workers in the "VIP" balcony section of the theatre.  There was a DJ, and maybe a band...? I'm pretty sure I did the big countdown on stage as well.

I was wearing a shirt with shiny disco ball squares all over it.  It worked as a New Year's Eve shirt. It looked like this:

The Ticket Stub Project

When a date corresponds with a ticket stub, I'll post my memories about that show as kind of a "This Day In Concert History". I hope you share your memories too, if you were at one of the shows (or at a different show on the same tour)!  

Now, some of these shows were not very memorable, and/or I just forgot some stuff.  I'm interested to see what I recall and what I don't.

Looking over the stack so far, I wish I'd started this earlier, since some of my favorite shows happened in past few months.  The good news is you'll have to wait less than a year to hear about those.  

The New Year celebration seems like the appropriate time to get this ball rolling! It starts December 31st. Hope you enjoy it!

    The Ticket Stub Project

    I've collected many tickets stubs from all the shows I've seen through the years.  

    There are shows I've seen that had no ticket, and I have lost a few stubs here and there.  This is my attempt to chronicle what I remember about each stub that I have. I'll post about each on the day of the year that the show happened!

    If you were at one of the shows, please share your memories in the comments!

    Here's the list so far!
