#45: Wrigley Field
July, 21st, 2009
Unbelievable Show. Great vacation. 1st time at Wrigley. Sitting in centerfield was great. Stole a piece of the ivy. So nice to get away and not have to worry about work for the 1st time in awhile. Thank you to everyone at Advanced who allowed that to happen.
We got to Chicago on Monday afternoon. Concert was Tuesday. Longest wait for the show.
Sat 3rd row center section. Just in front of Elton's piano. It was my 45th show but my 1st fight at a Billy Joel concert. Some fans of Elton John who were sitting in front of us were very intoxicated. The took exception to our cheering and yelling. Told my girlfriend that she has to shut up because his ears were hurting when she was cheering. He was 2nd row center at the concert, how could we be hurting his ears? Security had to pull them out when they became belligerent. They tossed there be over me as a last ditch effort to get me to swing. I know that if that had happened anyplace else in the world, I might have swung. But nobody was getting me out of that seat and ruining the concert for my girlfriend. She had never sat that close at a show. And seriously, who gets into a fight at a Billy Joel/Elton John show? All three were over 45. Pure comedy. The section cheered and congratulated us when they left. They were annoying everyone.
Here are my pics and videos from that night. Sorry for the camera work on the videos. It was exuberance mixed with Margarettas.
