No Captain Fantastic
Dean and I tried to go see Elton John last night at Key Arena. We didn't have tickets, but on a whim went to the ticket window about 7pm. They actually had a few seats on the floor in front of the stage, 14th row. But they cost $126 each. We decided we loved Elton, but not quite that much. We went to Broadway instead, and cruised books at Bailey Coy (almost bought a copy of BAP, but resisted at the last minute), then we went to Septieme for dessert. I had a flan and a cappuccino, Dean had an orange-almond cake and a latte. It was lovely out, a still-late-summer rather than early-fall kind of evening. I missed the sunset, though. Rebecca says it was spectacular.

Peter, it was easily the most beautiful sunset of the year, the first autumnal sunset. I saw Elton John years ago (maybe 1984 or 85) at the Tacoma Dome. He was dress as Mozart in 18th century clothes, wig and all, all white, and played a white harpsichord.
I am obsessed with Elton John's new CD. It's so good...I agree that $126 is a bit high...Too many martinis once led a friend and me to Madison Square Garden to buy last minute, and kind of expensive, tickets to the last Dixie Chicks concert...The concert was great, but my wallet regretted it...
R: Elton as Mozart. Love it.
A: Too many martinis has led many of us down the *dark* path. I'll have to check out the new Elton CD. Have not heard it yet.
