@veryotl haha, yeah, I won an Irish dance competition/pageant sort of thing for little kids when I was about nine and the prize just happened to be two tickets to the show that year! I was very lucky, as in later years the competition winner would just get a trophy. Even more lucky was that the show I got to see Flatley in was Feet of Flames, not Celtic Tiger, hahaha
(I say pageant bc we had to answer some questions for the judging panel as well as dance. I distinctly remember the question they asked me was whether I preferred the Backstreet Boys or *NSYNC. Since I was a very pretentious child and thought both were lame, I was very offended by the question. Apparently my scandalized reaction helped me get bonus points lol)
