I have horrible luck. I never win anything, and things rarely go my way. Until now…
Last week I hit a brick wall mentally and emotionally. I had a nice long talk with Jess about it and she told me I need to start doing more things for myself and doing things that will make me happy. As we talked, she had me list a few things that I would love to do. In my small list, I mentioned that I would love to go see a band I have been a fan of for years, Tantric. She told me to look them up on their website and see where they are playing. She didn’t care if they were playing in Philadelphia, she was going to take me. I looked up their shows, and found that they were playing in the Poconos this coming week, but they were one of 4 bands playing this show. That meant that I would only see them for about 20 minutes. To me, that was not worth the price of a ticket.
Fast forward to Friday afternoon. I was working in my office around 5pm, and I got a text message. The text was from a local radio station that had a program called the ‘Unfair Advantage’ where they text you about upcoming promotions, and every once and a while, they will put on a free concert for people in this club. Low and behold, I get notice of a free concert on Monday night, and 2 free tickets. The show you ask? Tantric and Saliva at the Woodlands in Wilkes-Barre!! That’s right! I get to go see a band I have been wanting to see for years for free Monday night. To say I am pumped, would be a gross understatement.
In case you have never heard of Tantric, here is a taste of the type of show they put on. Granted, the audio isn’t the best, but you get a feel for them. And yes, that is a fucking violin rocking it hard!
Here’s the official video in case you want to actually hear the song.
