(15,012 posts)So me, and my friend were standing trying to stay warm waiting over night for Who tickets at The Spectrum in Philadelphia.
Friends of my sister, and acquaintences of mine had gotten there earlier, though I didn't know it yet.
I was wondering why, now. I think it was bc my sister's friends all lived closer together in our neighborhood, had a subway right nearby, so could meet quickly, and take off!
I believe they brought a tent w them!
While my friend lived a couple of miles north of me where there was no subway. She had to take a winding bus down to the subway. We met up, I guess, somewhere where our possibly different subway lines are intersected, or she met me at my stop. Finally off we went.
Anyway, my sister's friends find us on the line! They got somehow bumped up on the line. We were around #550+/-. They gave us their #400 line number! 👍
Next morning which at least was sunny, we're slowly snaking our way forward. Finally they call "400"!!
I go running up the stairs. As I do
some one yells out: "Who's 400?!".
I raise my arms as I'm running up the stairs and the crowd cheers for me!!! 😲
I felt like Rocky!😄😄😄
(and didn't even dawn in me till right now - and, yeah, I was in Philadelphia where the movie takes place!😲😄 )
