The Curious Case of the Vanishing Concert Ticket - A Photo Re-enactment

I've been easing myself back into the world recently after the death of my niece. It's been a veritable struggle, as I'm still not able to post a tribute to her here, nor leave my thoughts on her Obituary's Guest Book yet.

Thank God for understanding friends!!


This brings me to the Great New York State Fair!

If it's one single event that seems to punctuate the 'end of summer' in Central New York, it's got to be The Great New York State Fair, which is always held here.
Yes I'll be going. I have to get my fill of Gyros and all that Fair food.

I started to think about last year's events at the fair, going to see Journey, which was headed up with REO Speedwagon and Heart first, a great triple-header of music.

To make a long story short, I lost my ticket. Grrr. I looked Everywhere for it!! Tore apart my entire place looking for it. My only assumption at that point was that it somehow got mixed in with paper that I threw out....weeks before. Ugh!

It vanished.

Gone.

Vamoosed!

Thankfully, they were able to print another for me at the gate. I didn't think they would.

(Picture of 2nd ticket given to me)

And the wonderful and awesome friends I have, in their own humorous manner, sought to razz me about it.

Mercilessly.

As only friends can do.

Upon being given a 2nd copy of the ticket, Fosterdad2 saw fit to take a picture of it for me purely for razzing purposes.
This picture was again *just now* sent to me as a reminder.
He's a stinker like that.

So Months go by.

Several months.


Continue here...

I was doing some Spring Cleaning one weekend.


Yes. I said 'Spring Cleaning'.

I did say Months went by, didn't I?




The picture above is the Original Concert Ticket, along with the Replacement ticket that I had actually used that one fine sunny day last year.

So What the Hell happened to that ticket in the first place??!!

I'm so glad you asked. Come along with me, put your Sherlock hat on and grab your magnifying glass, I'll reenact it for you.


Please notice picture 1. The sewing machine is where I might place something that I didn't want to get lost but keep within eyesight. Please notice The Ticket on there.



Uh oh, what's this?
That's Bacchus, my cat.
What's he doing in my Re-enactment??
Mmmm... Let's watch for a little while, shall we?




He must have spotted yet another Ferocious Conquest! My Concert Ticket was about to go to it's own certain death, much like several pairs of earrings or other trinkets in the past.



AHAA!! He's got it on the floor. What's he gonna do with it now?? A little on edge and anxious, he's wondering where his owner is, Sooo.....

He looks to the Right!

He looks to the Left!



And before ZZ comes back with a spray bottle for being on the furniture, Bandit Bacchus quickly nudges MY concert ticket across the floor...



And proceeds to hide it Under the rug that's directly in front of the sewing machine!!



And with my Ticket now 'forever lost' under that rug, Bandit Burglar Bacchus 'innocently' prances away.

I can't even tell you how many hundreds of times I must have walked over that ticket and didn't know until I discovered it after rolling up that Oriental rug to clean under it.
Obviously I'm sending this link to everyone I had attended that concert with last year.

And Fosterdad2 will be the first one that list.


Ever lose something and tear the place apart looking for it, to not find it for several months??
