So I went to see Elton John Saturday night. He played at the UCF Arena which is really a great place to see a concert. Not too big of a place. The concert completely sold out in minutes. I bought my ticket last minute on ebay. I THOUGHT I was bidding on two tickets until after I won the auction and read the fine print and saw that it was only one. Luckily my friends Brigitte and Josh were going as well, so we all went together. I just had to go my separate way when I got there. My ticket was a behind the stage seat which can go either way. Good or bad!! I had gotten very lucky in the past with behind the stage tickets. I saw Billy Joel and The Police behind the stage and they ended up being the best seats I have ever had. This time was no different! I was about 5 rows from Elton and could see every key he was playing on his piano. Next time you decide to pass on the behind stage tickets...think twice!! Elton was great. Nothing crazy, no costume changes, pretty much an intimate evening with Elton. He played for 3 hours and did hit after hit! I was too scared to bring my camera in so I left it in the car but everyone else brought theirs. I'll know better next time. I did take one pic with my horrible, worst cell phone camera on the planet, phone. It should give you an idea of how close I was. Well I'm off to see The Gabe Dixon Band tonight. My friend Denise and I are on the guest list :) We are actually working the show selling merchandise. Hopefully I'll have some good pictures for you tomorrow..
