I wanted to see one of my favorite bands,
[Great Big Sea](http://www.greatbigsea.com), play in Portland.
Last time, it was a pretty spontaneous event. I took a different route home and passed the theater where they were playing later that night. I was surpised to see them on the marquee. I went home, ate dinner as fast as possible, came back, and saw an awesome show. Even cooler, another of my favorite bands, [Carbon Leaf](http://www.carbonleaf.com), was fronting for them.
Today, the show was sold out when I got there. I knew about it in advance and even wrote it down in my calendar. I should have bought tickets or gotten more details this weekend. I could have even bought tickets online this morning. I wasted time and didn’t get there until 30 minutes before the show started. By which time it was sold out.
