East Ocean, yes. I went there once about a year ago, and the cart was pulling up to the table before we even sat down. I got totally full for about $10. And it was great; far superior to the dim sum I had in NYC a few years back.
Java, it's a deal. ... dunno when, but yes, we should do it.
I'd say tomorrow except I'm headed out to see Lee and -t
Me too. I still remember that Sting wore a kimono for a shirt. And later on he was kind enough to take it off.
Oh, I remember when I saw Sting solo for the Dream of the Blue Turtles tour. Wife beater and parachute pants. Branford Marsalis on soprano sax and the dirtiest, sultriest most amazing version of "Roxanne" ever until "El Tango" came along in Moulin Rouge.
And I get to see him again soon. ::le sigh::
Chris Botti is probably the artist I've seen most often.
I'd say tomorrow except I'm headed out to see Lee and -t
YAY for tomorrow.
Maybe we can plan dim sum for some other day?
My first concert was Whitney Houston. She was pretty impressive. But my best concert was Ray Charles, hands down. Truly amazing. I may have cried.
My first concert was Genesis, in 1984. That was also the last concert I paid for. After I went to college I started doing tech theater (basic lighting stuff) and when big tours would come through Chapel Hill they'd tap our theater for grunts to round out the union staff. I saw Bowie's Glass Spider tour that way, as well as a few others. My noisy crowd issues have since made it so most live rock is a no-go.
My first concert was Rush, in 1985(?) for the Power Windows tour. Good times.
In high school, the majority of us were into classic and/or AOR, but there were more than a few of us who adored Duran Duran.
I have only ever seen one concert-- Harry Connick, Jr. My crowd issues, plus my driving issues make it problematic. I have seen bands perform music in bars, but I am not sure if that counts.(getting out of the Finger Lakes concert venue in a vehicle seems to take about an hour of inching ahead bit by bit over a random field, and then when you get out, you don't even know where the hell you are.)
In high school I stopped listening to music other than musicals and vocalists, so the concert thing never came up. I did go to Toronto to see musicals (Donny Osmond in Joseph was amazing)
Barb is me. My first concert was Rick Springfield at Carnegie Hall in 1982 on my 11th birthday.
Best concert? I can't decide. But I went to about 20 shows in 1989, so it was probably one of them. Best concert: all of 1989. I still have the shirts.
rainy and 49? really March 28th? really?
I saw Mel Tillis and John Denver while still in elementary school. Saw Chicago in 8th grade.
Best shows: Bowie at the Garden, Lyle Lovett in Central Park, Aerosmith in TX, Loretta Lynn at Town Hall, Dolly Parton at Irving Plaza, BSB in Jersey.
