Like many of you, I enter my name into every drawing, contest, etc., that I come across while visiting art shows or reading posts on-line. Today I received an Email that one of these many entries and clicks actually paid off. I have won two tickets to Andre Rieu's concert on Saturday, May 23rd in the Target Center, downtown Minneapolis (that's Minnesota for those of you overseas). Andre Rieu is a unique musical director and it should be a really fun night. I would never have been able to afford these tickets on my own, so I'm thrilled. I doubt that my DH will want to attend with me, so after he turns it down, I'll think about who would be best to go with. Here's a link to a You-Tube on Andre Rieu.
I don't win things very often, although I could say that my entire life has been a win-win for me (I've really been very lucky in many aspects of my life). The last concert that I won tickets for was Neil Diamond and I went with my sister, Maja. We had a wonderful time and it was a great concert. My only difficulty with this concert is the fact that it takes place at the Target Center in downtown Minneapolis. I so rarely go there that the to and from is a challenge. I'll have to YahooMap it carefully :-) But I'm already looking forward to a fun evening of music, song and dancing. Yippee!

Sandra, I am excited for you! I have to wait until June to see Andre this year. Tell your "DH" they will have a lot of fun going.
I even took my then 24 year old daughter to Dallas to see Andre one year, and although he does not play the music she listens to everyday, she had a great time.
Please come to the www.AndreRieuFans.com and share your story with us after you go. I know the other fans would love to hear about you entering and winning the contest as well as about your concert experience.
Happy For You! Sally (my info is on the Webmaster page, and on our blog) :)
