getup kids

So I am driving to James' house to carpool to Shast College for my English 1A class when my cell phone rings. I look at caller ID and it is my sister, Sheryl. I hadn't talked to her in quite a while, so I was pretty excited. I picked up and we shared the whole "how are you" moment. She told me about how my other sister, Sarah was going to a Getup Kids concert in San Francisco in March, and how whe really wanted to go. Well, I really want to go too, so she told me to look for tickets online, and if I found any, to buy 2.
Well, apparently she looked as well, because she called back a few minutes later, two concert tickets the richer.
So now all I have to do is catch my parents on a good night and ask them. Here is a synopsis of what I got going:

for me:
Both my sisters are going
I already have a ticket
One of my friends (Sean) is going

against me:
It's a friggin Monday night! (wtf?!)
I'd have to drive down there
I am *not* on break (my sisters both are)

So here's the approximate conversation:
ME: Hey, mom, dad, I love you both. By the way, there is a concert on Monday the 29th in San Franc-
THEM: NO!

Wish me luck.
