While CJP may not be going to ESC next year, he is still looking after me!
This afternoon he sent me a text. My name had appeared on a list to email Roy immediately for ESC tickets. What? There were still some left??? Could my sins be redeemed?
Ok, so I was in a seminar. Immediately I lost all concentration on the topic and searched for the Facebook message on my phone. There it was! The message had only been posted 2 hours ago, so hopefully I was still in with a chance! With heart pounding and fingers shaking I sent off a courteous and grovelling email to request a ticket package, should any still be available.
Roy emailed me back about half an hour later, when I was in the car park. I could barely look. Was it good news or bad? Well I reminded myself that I was resigned to not going anyway, so it could’t be any worse, really. I took a deep breath and opened the email!
I was the last person to get tickets! How lucky! ESC 2015 here I come! I feel that it was meant to be!
I jumped up and down holding my phone in the air, to the mild alarm of a few onlookers. Who cares? Better book that flight to Vienna!
