As I'm nearing 600k photographs since I began shooting photos in 1976.

I look back at 30 years ago from today, the day I decided I was going to be "Famous Photographer, Jourdan Zebraa".
Well, I had seen an ad on MTV the day before, on Dec. 8th. It was promoting Cyndi Lauper's True Colors Tour, Live in Chicago.
So, that evening I called many of my friends and said "let's try and go to see Cyndi Lauper tomorrow in Chicago, Girrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrls!"
So 3 friends agreed to attend with me. Craig, Peggy and myself went and picked up one of my BFF's, Danny, from school after lunch for a surprise run to Chicago from St Louis for #CyndiLauper #TrueColorsTour Dec.9th 1986.
We called ahead to see if any tickets were available. In the hopes that we would still be able to get tickets when we arrived at the Venue at 7PM, when the concert started.
The box office woman said first come, first served. So we left St. Louis around noon and it took 5 hours in those days at 55 MPH to get to Chicago from STL. Upon Arrival, we walk up to buy 4 tickets "as close to the stage as you can please" I asked the box office lady. I told her, I work at Ticketmaster in St. Louis (which I did), in the hopes it might better our tickets.
Then she slides us 4 tickets, mind you it's just 1 hour before the show. $60 for 4 tickets, $15 a piece. I asked her "where are the seats are located?". The box office woman say's in the crankiest voice I ever heard "These are 2nd Row Center, right in front of the Stage!". "It's your lucky day. Your in luck, these tickets were just turned back in by a radio station that had not given them all away" she said. "Thank You, So Much!" I screamed at the box office lady, running back to the car to tell my friends. OMG 2ND ROW CENTER STAGE, not one of us could believe it! -jzebraa
