The problem is minimising the guilt-trip. And I don't see why you should have one - you've been there for her in the past, this time you need a bit of consideration in return. So stay home, relax, and get better for tomorrow is my advice.

thank you sparrow !

deep down, i know you're right, but it really helps when someone says it ! cheers to you for making me feel a bit less guilty about something i shouldn't feel guilty at all about.

that seems like a better solution. maybe. hm. wait a minute...

i'm starting to get the feeling that sparrow is the not the best source of advice for this particular situation !

You have to go. You can always sleep during the show. If you are caught you say "I told you so! ".
Find a nice person for the return trip or maybe that particular friend.

Funny thing, the events that I dread the most have always turned up to be the most fun. If you weren't goig, what would you do? Write here? I rather do something.

Tell yourself that you are lucky to have friends and that you are a good friend. Just go!

No, stay home Queen Z. !!
These are special circumstances, and sometimes you're allowed to put your own needs first. This is one time you've got to look after yourself.
If they're true friends they'll understand.

see, yvan ? THAT is what the correct answer looks like in this case ! (thanks sparrow !!)

Well, at least call the poor lass to tell her she will not be blessed with your royal presence...

Nah! seriously, you should go ... oh! wait a minute!
The final of the Confederations Cup is about to start in 25 mins. It's Brazil vs USA! Go USA!

Maybe you can tell your friend you have to watch it at the corner bistro?

i don't know why you have so much trouble with the idea of having a quiet night in and going to bed early for a change, sheesh ! it's a lot more convincing reason to miss the show than a football match !!!

I'm grumping over the fact that I gave you the exact same advise, and got nooooooooo credit for it.

well, to be fair, sparrow didn't make any mention of ditching my friend completely as a bad job.

but yes, thanks to you too for the advice. (now calm down, sheesh !)

By gum! The USA are 1-0 up!!

They've got no chance against Brazil though (you heard it here first

) - but they've done very well to get this far.

Update: USA 2 Brazil 0

..

Still plenty of time to go.....
