Day 22 - "I never knew me a better time..."

Captain Fantastic!



Blowing kisses.



Happy 60th EJ!



Looking our way!



A dream come true for us.



Last night, I saw Sir Elton John in concert... FRONT ROW! I entered a contest run by a local radio station and won the tickets. Elton John is definitely one of my idols so to be within 15 feet of him was amazing. My friend Claire and I were in absolute awe for the first half an hour. I've never known anything like it. What an experience.

Elton rocked as usual. This 5 city tour (can you believe little Hartford, CT was a tour stop?!) is in celebration of his 60th birthday. He played 2 and a half hours straight --no pun intended ;)-- only stopping to sip his Diet Coke once in a while. His voice sounded better than ever. He is an icon!

I was dancing right in front of Elton the whole time! At one point he pointed to me and said, "Thank you!" I just about died. He came up to us and touched our hands too. He also smiled when he saw my "BITCH" shirt. I saw him in concert for the first time in Boston and I bought the shirt at that show. At one point Davey Johnstone, the guitarist, came up to me and gave me his pick. It was surreal! I never thought I would ever have an experience like that. A night I will never forget!
