Oh, don't get me started on the whole "If you really cared you'd shell out 1000 bucks for the tickets."
Many of us are not at a place in our lives where we can justify spending 1000 dollars on something for ourselves. Even if it's something we want REALLY badly.
Personally I'm not planning on camping out for days. I'll probably get there a few hours early to check out the scene, because I'm neurotic. And yes I realize there's a very slim chance of winning. Hell, I've never even won any of the regular B'way lottos and I've played several. People are going to come out for this because they know they could never forgive themselves if they didn't at least TRY.
Coin operated boy
All the other real ones
that I destroy
Cannot hold a candle
to my new boy and I'll
Never let him go
and I'll never be alone
Not with my coin-operated
boy
