almost a funny story . . .

it took a few trys but Noriko was able to reserve a seat for me to see ハンバートハンバート(Humberto Humberto) (Humbert Humbert) for an early birthday present. after "clicking" accept and getting a confirmation number to pick up the ticket at any AM/PM, we searched online for the nearest AM/PM and at first thought that it was going to be near KIX (Kansai International Airport) which is a couple of hours drive away or about a $20 limo bus ride (each way). but fortunately we found we near Makiochi train station which is about a 10 minute drive. it would have cost about the same to go get the tickets as for the concert.
