someone saved my life tonight, sugar babe.

that someone was elton john. my GOD. i have never been more high on life. even songs i couldn't bring myself to like ironically had me singing along at the top of my lungs. and moving my feet as if rock were still young.

when he sang tiny dancer i thought i was going to explode. and then when he sang candle in the wind i held up my cellphone and kept hitting buttons so it would light up and look like a swaying flame. i would have held up a lighter, but i forgot to bring one. i have heaps of lighters even though a lighter is only good for two purposes, for lighting tea candles people give me in secret santa presents and for holding up during elton john ballads.


there were only three downsides:

one - the warm up gig who were out of their depth and bland. it is not their fault, i blame whoever booked them.

two - the bitch behind me who complained about how when i was dancing my heart out my bag hit her. i'm sorry lady. if you want to have the luxury of a platnum seat where people don't have to stand around with their bags PAY THE THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS AND QUIT COMPLAINING. otherwise, pay eighty dollars and deal with it.

three - the awful sign that said "WGTN [heart] ELTON". great sentiment but it should have been WE [heart] ELTON or WGTN [heart]s ELTON. but not WGTN [heart] ELTON. i felt ashamed that elton would be judging how we couldn't even write a simple sign in proper english.

and these down sides were eclipsed when elton wrongly said "i can't light ... no more of your... darkness". because actually at that moment he proved once again that he could make all downsides disappear and it was like there wasn't a stadium full of drunken middle aged couples but just him and me and some of my best friends asking the sun not to go down on us.

anyway, i am blissed out. i want to follow him around the world. i hope he plays hawaii in august. i'm so there.
