Ghost Fan Shares Heartwarming Story After His Job Forces Him to Miss Live Show
Ghost’s headline tour is well underway, and take it from me, your trusty neighborhood SJW/commie/libtard metal blogger: it is QUITE the spectacle and you do not want to miss it!
Unfortunately for Brooklyn resident Garth Purkett, who describes Ghost as his favorite band, an important project required him to stay “mega late” at work, forcing him to give up the tickets he’d bought to see the band’s show this past Tuesday night (May 15th) in Port Chester, NY, about 30 miles north of the city. He was incredibly bummed to sell the ticket, but the story has a happy ending that’ll tug on your morbid, ghoulish heartstrings.
Here, we’ll let Garth himself take over:
last night i had to sell my ticket to see my favorite band, Ghost, because i had to stay at work mega late finishing an important project that was poorly time-managed by its owner. pic.twitter.com/i434WDanJS

i felt sick to my stomach emailing the ticket away as their shows are bucket-list worthy, but i did what i had to do. adulthood is shitty sometimes or always.

i told my girlfriend that afternoon about the ticket/work debacle, and she was so deeply bummed for me because she knows how much i love Ghost. i appreciated her support and empathy, though it still stung for hours after.

when i finally finished work at 10 pm in a heap of exhaustion, she texted to see if we could facetime when i got home.
though i was certifiably dead, i gladly said yes.
“yayyyyy!”, she replied.

and i’m extremely glad i did say yes, and not just because it brightens my day to talk with her.
but because after slumping down in bed, i gave her a call, and after a few rings she picked up, the video slowly connected, and:

i laughed hysterically, with no control over my mental faculties, for five solid minutes. i thought i was going to die. i had no idea what to even say.

as i composed myself and we started talking, she told me she didn’t even have the face paint handy. she heard about my work woes and WENT TO THE STORE TO GET THE MAKEUP.

instantly, the stress of the day completely washed away. all i felt was loved, seen, and understood. it was one of the best things anyone’s ever done to show they love me.

anyways, im the luckiest guy on earth to have @ohheyohhihello as my partner. shes caring, empathetic, and knows how to commit to a motherfuckin JOKE.

i hope each and every one of you find that special someone who‘ll dress up as *your* favorite swedish satanic doom metal band to make you smile ????

Ain’t that something??? And the moral of the story is… uhh, I dunno actually, just jam out to Ghost’s new single “Dance Macabre,” it’s straight fiyah!
