[img=111911_red7 GD.jpg]I was fortunate enough to attend the surprise Green Day show in Austin, Texas on Thursday night. Here's my recap (if you'd prefer to skip to details from the performance, you can skip to "The Show" part in bold!)...

When I first heard about the show happening, my first thought was, "Can I get there?" Given my past experiences to date, I felt that it was possible. This time, unlike the previous 4 surprise shows, I immediately had a good feeling about doing it, and that gave me the belief and confidence to go for it. Within a couple of hours, I had a flight booked to fly out to Austin, TX on Wednesday morning (UK time).

A big part of the thrill of doing this kind of thing, for me, is the thought that I can go from sitting in front of my computer at home one day to being at a Green Day show thousands of miles away the very next!

Having got myself packed and ready to go in quick time, I headed out of my home in England just after 5am. A 2 hour train journey to the airport, followed by 10 hours on the plane to Houston, and then an hour connecting flight to Austin, and I was in the city where I needed to be by Wednesday afternoon, Texas time!
