I don’t think I have ever anxiously awaited a movie, book, or concert. I get excited when a movie I like releases, like a Star Trek Movie, and I would love to see Shakira in concert, Tom Jones, Elton John, Adele (Adele mostly because my husband would love it), but it isn’t an anticipatory exctement. If it happens, if the opportunity presents itself, great.
I have to echo @tinyfaery‘s answer about Fringe though, I can’t wait!
And, I love to go back to MI and see a football game and my friends back at my university when I get a chance. I only get to about every 2–3 years, but each year I try to see if it will fit with our schedule. This year it won’t, so I will be thinking about going next year, looking at the schedule once it comes out and booking the hotel way in advance.
All travel I very anxiously await.
