last night i went to the Yamaha Elton John Tribute Concert at the Pond, featuring Vanessa Carlton, Ray Charles, Bruce Hornsby, Jewel, Norah Jones :), John Mayer, Brian McKnight, Randy Newman, Rufus Wainwright and a couple others. It was a cool event to go to, but needed to be a little more organized. Eric McCormack (Will from Will and Grace) was the host, and he sang a song too. (the company i work for produces the NAMM show, so we got free tickets.i don't care that they were nosebleed seats, tickets were going for $75-$300 for charity) i would have to say the highlight was Ray Charles (and his standing ovation), and Nora Jones' rendition of Tiny Dancer (favorite elton john song!). after the show, Vanessa Carlton and her people walked right by me, and i missed the chance to trip her. damn! shoulda done it! (she deserved it for ruining 'Don't let the sun go down on me' with her whiny nasally voice!)

SO glad Harry Potter 5 is finally gonna be out in June. the last one left me on the edge of my seat! (yes, i am a nerd like that). anyway, for you HP fans who don't already know yet, you can reserve your book at Borders and get 40% off! (such a deal!). OR if you are a walden books preferred card reader (like me), you can also do the same.

yuck no Monday off for me either :(
