Don't stand so close to me...


We're headed to the Police/Elvis Costello concert tonight.

So excited, about both.
And feeling a little geezerish 
when I admit that I kind of hope 
everyone doesn't stand up
the WHOLE time.

{Can't we have a little designated rest time, people?
Just for a little while...
maybe during Message in a Bottle?}

I'll give you a full report 
on Sting's biceps
and Elvis's glasses
tomorrow.
De do do do, de da da da... 

p.s.
Remember this?

If you want to rush the stage and make out with Sting, I bet G wouldn't mind a bit. I'd like to know if he's as delicious in person as he is in my head when I listen to him sing.

I went to the Elvis/Police concert in SLC a week and a half ago with my S and some friends. S and I (and the 3 kids) left Yellowstone mid-vacation to attend the concert the same day. We cruised into SL, dropped off the kids with a babysitter, changed clothes quickly (I am sure no one wanted to smell bug repellant and sweat), and went to the concert. As we were walking to the venue, an amphitheater, Elvis had started playing EARLY. What concert starts ahead of schedule?!?!?! Especially when it's Elvis and he's the real reason you're there?!?! Yes, he was great. And yes, the Police were great. We went back to Yellowstone at the crack of dawn the next morning. The less than 12-hour stay in SL and the extra legs home and back to vacation were totally worth it. Enjoy! Just get there a little early!

P.S. We danced the whole time. Most people sat through Elvis; the nerve of them!
