Dear GYA, It's difficult for me see to my keyboard through these tears of joy, but I have to tell you how damned happy I am that Kanye West will be performing here this November. Sure, tickets are expensive -- I'll probably have to take out a second mortgage on the house, sell my PT Cruiser and eat nothing but stolen condiments for a month -- but, come on, it's Kanye.--- Anything happening this weekend better than the coming of Yeesuz? - Jenn Froyo, South Salt Lake
