How can ones emo­tions go from excite­ment to worry to stress in a sin­gle breath?

I will tell you. Ear­lier today I got my tick­ets for an upcom­ing Ray Lam­on­tagne con­cert and I am so excited to go see him. I have only learned about his music for about a year, but in this year I have been moved by some of his songs.  Ini­tially when I placed the order for the tick­ets, I had a friend in mind who I was talk­ing to and going out on a few dates. We were going to go and it was going to be a great date. Unfor­tu­nately, we are not talking/dating any­more  so I am left out in the cold. I have no prospects to share this very fun and per­sonal con­cert with. I flip through my phone book (really just scroll through my iphone) and can’t see any­one who excites me to invite out with me. I could find a “friend” to take but that just makes me a bit sad that I have zero prospects to take to this show.

If you were in my shoes what would you do? Place an ad in the clas­si­fied? On craigslist? Ha … dras­tic times could call for dras­tic mea­sures. It’s not like this is the kind of con­cert where a “man-date” would be appro­pri­ate. I am stuck and have 20 days to fig­ure it out. I am on the clock!
