...we talk about Third Day.
My Third Day adventures by the numbers:
51: number of times I've seen Third Day in concert
15: number of states in which I've seen Third Day
13: number of official Third Day merchandise shirts
5: number of unofficial Third Day shirts
1: number of times I have said, "I know Mac Powell," just to impress someone (my new boss)
1: number of times I've worn a cowboy hat to a Third Day show
1,310: number of miles I once traveled one-way to see Third Day in concert
1: number of times I scared another fan with my lightening fast G.A. moves
2: number of times I over-invested in a Third Day show (Huntsville, AL 2005 & SC state fair 2007)
7: number of times I've seen Third Day live in Texas
(Edit:Since Mark wanted us to talk about something that happened this week in particular; how about my MusicToday pre order has yet to arrive. How's that for a theme?)
so Traci. . . I'm hoping to catch 3D in KC in October. . .
Me thinks we should get a delegation there. Wouldn't be too much of a drive for the Okies. . .
:) I jus wanna meet ya'll!!

The number listed for #7 is WAY too small. Unacceptable. I'm thinking you should seriously work on that. :D

Define over-invested? As in spent too much money on a ticket? Or just wore yourself out? Impressive numbers!

Angela, it looks like that could happen. :)
Dawnifer, over-investment as defined by The Wards is simply the law of diminishing returns. There is a point, (be it defined by cost, physical exertion, or various other factors) when you realize nothing the band could do would make it worthwhile. It says something though, doesn't it? Out of 51 shows, only 2 fall into that category. :)
