And it stayed at home, even after I made the mental note to take it to Sir Elton's show on the 13th in Edmontonchuck ... short term memory must be really good, 'cause it's getting really short. Adding insult, I had the cell phone (with camera) in pocket and forgot to use it too... Saw a wonderful techno generation gap that night; as Elton played the crowd favourites, the digi cam's flashed, the backlit cellphones displays waved, and the the bic lighters flamed on. I felt so damn confused - I quit smoking years ago, but still carry a lighter when I go hunting, finally upgraded the old analog cellphone to new digital (telus killed the analog network), and the old pentax gave way to a Canon - problem is, I don't know which one to use at a concert. Best concert wise, hoo boy. Lets see, been to Van Halen, Trooper, April Wine (x4), Iron Maiden, Scorpions, Nazareth, Gordon Lightfoot (x2), The Judds, Kim Mitchell, Pam Tillis, Elton John. Top 3, in order, Gordon Lightfoot at the Jube (front row center seats!) and oh yeah, proposed to wife and she said yes! Van Halen - just plain ass fun (lordy to be 17 again - but with money and widsom!), and Sir Elton (guy been playing for 40+ years - knows how to entertain!)

Also with Sir Elton. I can't say I have the same fantasies as yourself but it was just.. well beyond words. I had just started at a new job, a job where we have lots of suppliers who have very big names in many different industries. It was the end of the year so the big names were buttering up their clients, us. We got a couple of tickets to Sir Elton's Rocket Man concert at the Sydney Entertainment Centre. We were in a private box, in the front row of the private box, after having been served an elegant dinner in the room adjoining the private box. It was just.. well.. sublime. Sir Elton played for over 2.5 hours, with a very small intermission. He played all the oldies, and a lot of songs I had never even heard before. And then, as if the evening was not the pinnacle of my life, we were given the Rocket Man: Definitive Collection CD. It was.. sublime.. I can't even tell you ;-) Ok I know I am way too late for the giveaway but I had to share my awesome concert story too. Also with Sir Elton.

It was me and my 3 best girlfriends the summer of grade 7. My mom hired our babysitter to come over and do my bangs for me for the special occasion. I loved every minute of it and cried during the final encore (Could have Been). Memories!!! first concert was Tiffany. It was me and my 3 best girlfriends the summer of grade 7.
