Elton John

This last weekend we ventured up to fine, classy establishment called Atlantic City for an Elton John concert. I first found out about this months ago and was able to secure some tickets off Ebay. Jenny was the only who expressed interest so we only got two. It ended up being her birffffday present so the two of us cruised up there Saturday morning to fight the 95 traffic.

It took forever with all the traffic but finally made it to Ocean City NJ to chill on the beach for the afternoon. After some floating lessons and some New Yorker on the beach we left and made our way up to AC. We checked into the Fairfield Inn, thank you Marriott, got ready and jammed over to the beach.

We kicked it on the Boardwalk for a while and then went in. Elton came out and rocked it for a solid two and half hours, no intermission. He played all his hits which included a 20 minute version of Rocketman. Words can't describe the concert. It was money. The guy next to us guarenteed that we weren't even born when he first heard Elton. He was indeed right. So we brought down the median age at this concert by a good thirteen years but who cares. It was some good stuff. After ending with Your Song, we were out and on our way to hit the tables of AC.
I played 21 for no more than five minutes and made out with thirty extra big ones. Yeah, I'll take that and run. I know I'm a high roller.


Another cool thing about AC was that it is where all the names of the Monopoly game were originated. We couldn't help but snake a photo of some cool street names.

All in all, it was a fun weekend as I was finally able to check off Elton from my list. Next month, Neil Diamond!
