Erasure was awesome! The concert was at Irving Plaza, a small venue where everyone stands up the whole time. We were fairly close, and if I was taller, I would have had a great view of them the whole time. But, I did get to see them about half the time. They are such fun performers. They are like the Barenaked Ladies in that respect, you can just see on their faces that they really love what they are doing. They played all my favorites too, so I was very happy. The only problem was the we were packed in very tightly and every once in awhile I had to stick my head into the nearest open space to take some deep breathes because I was getting a bit claustrophobic.

On Friday Patrick got an announcement that tickets would be going on sale at 10:00 that day for a benefit, and he managed to call in and get tickets before they sold out. He really does have the best luck, if only he would use it to win the lotto! So, this benefit— Here’s what they say about it:

Stars in the Sky: An Evening to Benefit the Association of Hole in the
Wall Camps Paul McCartney, Julia Roberts, Paul Newman, Robin
Williams, Mary J. Blige, Tony Bennett, Hezekiah Walker and The Love Fellowship Choir, the Emerson
String Quartet and AntiGravity. Live on stage for one-night-only at Avery Fisher Hall, Lincoln Center to benefit the Association of
Hole in the Wall Camps.Thursday, April 21, 2005 at 7:00 p.m.

I’m pretty excited about that! I don’t even care what they will be doing. I’ll write more about that on Friday after we’ve been.

Sunday we had a nice day in the city walking around Soho. It was another nice day and everybody was out enjoying it. If we had a sailboat it would have been really tempting to hop in and sail away. I would say maybe we are in for nice weather from here on out, but it’s supposed to rain and the temp. will drop Thursday through the weekend.

The Rob Thomas solo cd comes out tomorrow. Hope it’s not too KISS FMie for me.
