Does she wear band tee's or anything? Does she wear NIN t-shirts to school. If you know what kind of bands she likes buy tickets (if they are fairly cheap) tell her you have tickets, get a conversation going, and finally ask if she would like to accompany you, since your friend had to back out. I say cheap because she can say no, also if you do that, make sure it is a band you actually like. Nothing like getting things started with lies. :thumbsup:
