Tonight we went to a benefit for the Association of Hole in the Wall Camps which Paul Newman founded for children with serious illness and life-threatening conditions.

Tony Bennett, The Emerson String Quartet, Robin Williams, Julia Roberts,and Paul McCartney along with Paul Newman and some kids from the camp put on an hour and a half show to raise money for the camps. I never really thought I liked Tony Bennett, but he was actually pretty darn good. Of course Patrick was increadibly excited to see Robin Williams since that’s one of his favorite comedians. I was excited to see Julia Roberts, and a little beyond excited to see Paul McCartney.

But see them we did. We were just off the left of the stage, in a box on the second level. Sounds expensive, but it really wasn’t. We had a great view, if you don’t count having to look through the rail. When Paul McCartney played the piano, we had a perfect view of his hands. He sang Yesterday, one of my favorite songs, and Lady Madonna. Julia Roberts was really cute, she was nervous as she read a college essay written by a former camper. And at the end, she was laughing at Paul Newman, and she really does have that funny laugh. I loved it!

It was a really memorable night, and we were a little star struck. Especially after having walked through the line of photographers waiting outside. Not that they paid any attention to us!

Stuff like this is the neatest part of living here.
