"And now," says the DJ, "the cellular one traffic report." you listen to the radio drone on, until you hear something that catches your attention. "Highway 32 has slowed almost to a stop, due to an accident involving..." You quickly change the station and check to make sure your dad hasn't heard. You have to travel along highway 32 to get to the park, and you don't want your dad to change his mind about taking you. Your dad is happily humming along with the radio. In your haste to switch channels, you tuned into an easy listening station. You reach over to change stations again, but your dad stops you. You slouch down in your seat, and suffer in silence for the rest of the trip.

7:25am

Finally, the ride is over. You climb out of the car, and wave good-bye to your dad. "Meet me back here at 9:00 PM" your dad warns. You nod, and walk toward the gate. You notice a crowd of fifteen or twenty girls waiting outside the front gates, and are glad you decided not to wait the couple of hours. One of the girls are waving to you. It's Krista. You run over to her. She seems excited.

"EEE! We are going to get front row seats! We are going to be so close we can, like, smell them!" You laugh, and look around at the other girls waiting. Some are wearing Hanson shirts, some are holding Hanson signs, some have Hanson scribbled all over their arms, legs, and faces, and some have all three!

A man comes over and opens the gate. The small crowd of girls flows toward the ticket booth. In line, you fish around in your pocket for your ticket. It's not there! Suddenly you realize that it's still stuck to your fridge at home! You have the $50 dollars, which would be enough to buy a ticket, but then you would not have as much spending money as you had wanted. There is also a pay phone nearby, but, even if anyone was home, it would take them at least half an hour to get to the park and deliver the ticket, probably longer, with the traffic jam. You have to make your decision quickly, you're getting near the front of the line.

Do you want to try the payphone or buy a new ticket?
