How you know you're getting old

[owlmoose]

When you're looking to make plane reservations for a business trip (and perhaps the fact that you're even taking business trips should be your first clue), and you decide it's worth a hundred bucks or more to get non-stop flights and not to have to fly out at six o'clock in the morning.

Also, when you're talking music with friends and it turns out they've never even heard the bands that defined your youth. Alas, New Wave, how you have disappeared into the mists of time. (Except for The Police. Oakland, June 13th. Anyone with me?)

Omigosh I am so there June 13! (insert squeel with teenage delight)
When do tickets go on sale???

Yay! I'm glad they announced a Bay Area show.

My advice - join or find someone who is a Best Buy Rewards member. You will get a pre-sale access code for tickets.

Or consider joining the fan club (for $100). You also get a presale

The only way we got tickets to Boston was through the Best Buy and fan club presales. Of course, the Boston shows are on a weekend

Wow, the Police back together. Their last(?) concert in Oakland (Synchronicity tour) was my first rock concert.

Heh, how about this one: 'You know you're getting old when you see a pretty young girl walking down the street and wonder what her mother looks like.'
