Don't let this thumbnail fool you, Travis is a super happy guy, I just thought it was funny and it also showed off the front entertainment center the best. No frown faces here. 
Watch the YouTube below to see whats happening in the Outback. This rig is FOR SALE. We decided to leave the front room untouched and when sold, we can make that space anything! A garage? Bunkhouse, office space, you name it.

I have to believe in the karmic law. I’ve always believed in putting good energy out into the world, you will receive good. Your energy is felt by the world around you, moving plans in directions that you desire. Our karmic bucket was full yesterday and we cannot believe we got into this festival.
Story time….
This festival did not feel meant to be from the start. We’ve been going to Ohana Fest since the first one in 2017. Only missing one when we were traveling and friends grabbing us the poster from the festival while they were there, knowing we were sad to be missing it. Why this festival? Eddie Vedder. The lead singer of Pearl Jam and Kelly Slater (surf God) started it to raise money for the @surfrider foundation and a night with Eddie, yes please. A concert on the beach, we’re there. It also falls on Travis bday weekend so yes, it’s our thing. When we bought tickets last year, we had hoped the pandemic would cool down and we’d be there but it was rescheduled to this year and we were still stoked because not only was Eddie closing out one night, Pearl Jam was closing out the last night. We splurged and got tickets to both. Then, Travis best friend scheduled his wedding on what happened to@be the weekend of Ohana Fest. As bummed as we were, we knew we couldn’t miss his wedding so we sold our tickets, lost a little money and moved on. It wasn’t meant to be this year. All good.
Then, they announced a 2nd weekend, never done, encore weekend with Pearl Jam closing out both nights. When we decided we could actually make the last night, tickets online were sold out. Someone posted they had tickets for sale, just as I had when I sold mine and I snagged them. Cheaper than face value, was stoked we were able to make our annual date night to a place we love.
Cut to walking up to the front with my barcode in hand to get our wristbands. The couple at the front working the ticket stand immediately looked at Travis’ hat and said “oh! You’ve been to the UP? We’re moving there!” We talked about how beautiful it was and where they were going, then I handed her my barcode. Scammed. I had been scammed. Continued in comments….
I truly had so much hesitation purchasing them from a 3rd party but did research and felt it was okay. I also just wanted to believe in humanity and believe in this person I was sending money to who sent me the tickets. It all felt and looked legit, but it wasn’t. The lady at the ticket counter told me sorry and when I went up for a second time to see if there was any option, she told me they did have tickets for sale, for double what I paid. We would have been nearly $700 in the hole from one concert. I felt the tears welling up. I told her I’d go talk to my husband when in reality I just couldn’t hold it together enough, I was so disappointed in humanity and that I was dumb enough to make this mistake. I also couldn’t imagine dropping so much money. I went to Travis, he hugged me and said it was okay, we’d go find something else to do. We agreed hat the person who took the money had better really needed it. I told him they had tickets for sale and he said well we’re here, might as well. Credit card in hand, he walked up to buy them while I stayed back, crying, which I don’t do, I was just so effin mad at a sucky human.
Travis walks up to the counter and the lady won’t make eye contact with him for a few awkward minutes. Finally she gets her husbands attention, says something and he hands her a wrist band. She hands it to Travis. Blown away, she says it was an extra and it should work. Travis says his thank you’s, shocked and goes to buy a second one. At that moment, the lady gets a text message, reads it, and hands Travis a second wristband. She said she was holding it for a friend who just said they can’t come. As Travis is walking back to me, his smile and shrug of his shoulders, throwing his arms up like “what the heck just happened” I knew he didn’t pay for them. The lady gives me a wave and a thumbs up and we stand there, in shock.
We said 100 thank you’s to the couple behind the counter, to the sky, to the Karma Gods and walked in. Then, travis’ band doesn’t work. I get pushed on ahead and I’m standing inside while Travis is outside, with security. He tells them where he got it and he then gets pushed in thru the gate. We were in.

Karma. It’a good.
Yes I’ve reported the person on all accounts and on all levels. I’m not so much worried about getting back the $200 as I am to make sure they don’t do it again, but if they do, karma will not be kind to them.
Moral of the story, stay positive, put good into the world for the shear fact that it’s just good to do so.
