Neon green VIP concert pass on lanyard
I lost my neon green VIP concert pass yesterday around 3pm near Bo Diddley Plaza on University Ave. It's a laminated 3x4 inch card with a holographic star in the corner and a big 'VIP' stamp; the barcode on the back is still legible, and it's attached to a black lanyard with white 'VIP' text. The color is bright neon lime green, and the pass has a small coffee stain along the bottom edge from a cup I spilled earlier in the day. This pass is very important to me—it's for a Gainesville show I planned to attend with friends, and it also ties to a concert memory I want to hold onto. If someone found it, please reach out; I really need it back.
