I don't want to write about the whole thing yet, because the wound is too fresh, but I made the 18-hour trip to AX also. Unfortunately I managed to miss the concert.
Point being, one of the people I was staying in the hotel room with caught one of the drumsticks. (That's the point where I walked out the door and started crying. XD) When I was composed again, I asked her what she would trade for it, as I have a lot of very nice things. But of course she refused. u.u
