There's this pretty obscure singer called Sting from this little no name band Called the Police that has had some pretty good songs recorded over the years, some of which have changed the course of my actual life... and then
I SAW THEM LAST NIGHT AND ALMOST WET MY PANTS!!!!!!!!!!!
Cindy called last week and told me she had a little ticket just for me so we went and, after Elvis Costello opened, this dude came out and started ringing this giant gong...
and then he was there.
Sting.
Actual Sting.
Actual Sting in a long sleeved translucent black second skin tight t-shirt and 3 days of stubble and his ancient bass.
Actual sting singing actual 'Message in a bottle' and actual 'Roxanne' and actual 'Don't stand so close to me'.
I just kept thinking to myself....I'm here, I'm here, I'm screaming, 'there's a little black spot on the sun today, it's my soul up there'.... WITH STING!
it was definitely not to be rivaled in the near future or recent past....
it's like somebody put Sting in a bottle in 1993 and he looks exactly the same only with more muscles...
I told Cindy...I just hoped he wouldn't disappoint, you know...like we get all the way there and he sounds all old and lame live or something.
yeah.
not so much.
pretty much perfect.
We had such a good time.
Thanks so much Cindy. there's no one with whom I would rather observe overly drunk people and almost run out of gas and eat a 3 foot long bag of kettle corn with than you.

O, I had so much fun. Thank you for sharing that with me. I'm so glad we changed spots so that we could see.
How completely cool. I may be stuck in the 80s or early 90s by saying this, but Sting is just sexiness incarnate. Glad he didn't disappoint!
