Divine Comedic Miracle

Yesterday Sam and I went to see Divine Comedy after my choir concert. I was told that there was "no admittance after 15 minutes into the show" (which started at 21:00). Considering that my concert was expected to END at a quarter past, I was somewhat rushed throughout the evening.

Well, the concert ended promptly at 21:05, which meant that I had my coat and bag in hand by 21:10.
By the time i was exiting the HFAC, it was 21:13.
At this point I was running over to the JSB from the HFAC, hurriedly Attempting to make it in time.
I entered the JSB at 21:16 and saw that the length of the line would give me some extra time.
I used this time to quickly relieve myself, then rushed back out at 21:17 to find Sam somewhere in the mess of people.
I didn't.
Sam was hidden somewhere in there, and he was doing a mighty fine job of it. I Did, however; find Max and Corey at 21:18 waiting in line.
I hopped in line with them and reached into my pocket to get my- and alas, my tickets were gone. I retraced my steps in a nanosecond, but all I could imagine was the tickets jumping out of my pocket as I made the mad dash to the JSB.
As I scavenged through my pockets: pants- front, back, shirt, suit jacket- right breast, left, outside left, right, inside lower, upper, coin pocket, suit coat- glove pocket right, left, inside breast pockets, inside lower pockets; it came to my attention that I had a lot of pockets.

However, the tickets were nowhere to be found. It was at this very moment that 'Mr. Invisible' decided to make his appearance.
Sam: "Do you have the tickets?"
Jack: "No. I think we can't go."
Max: " Are y-"
Random Passerby: "Did you say you need tickets? Here."
Jack: "Pardon?"
Fateful Passerby: "You can have these tickets."
Jack: "Thanks. Thank you so much."

At this point we had reached the doors. At the time the tickets were placed in my hand, before i even had time to close my hand around them, there was literally no other person between us and the crew taking tickets.

Max: "That was amazing."
Jack: "Yeah."
Max: "No, like seriously- that was a miracle. You had better write that down in your journal tonight."
Jack: "Definitely."

So, this is my journal entry. It was amazing, there is no doubt of that. Had any part of that night changed in the least I may have never passed those people- thereby missing the heaven-sent tickets and thereby the performance.

And, that's pretty cool.
