Around the age of maybe 14 or 15 I had gone to wal-mart and was browsing around some guys' t shirts when I came across this amazing Def Leppard t shirt... It was from their Pyromania album. An exploding building with a bull's eye on it. And it fit wonderfully too! I mean, I know it's just a t shirt, but it's a rarity to come across one that fits just right. Of course I couldn't truly wear this shirt until I had religiously listened to their music so much I could sing by heart.
Then one day... I lost it. It was gone, forever.
It was getting close to my 17th birthday and I kept telling my dad that all I wanted was that t shirt. Because it was awesome.
August 31st come around and I was handed a card along with a super delicious red velvet cup cake. My dad explained to me that he had gone on ebay and any other site you can imagine to try and find this shirt for me.
I opened the card to find tickets to see Def Leppard live at the AT&T center September 17th. Holy crap. Heart was opening and we had 9th row seats. We were so close!! I felt proud being a 17 year old girl singing every song they played with some crazy stay out home moms who miss the wild life and guys coming just to see the guitars. All while wearing my new resurrected t shirt.
My dad says it's the most expensive t shirt he's ever bought. I believe it.
The concert was the best but it can't top my awesome father :)
