I must remember not to tamper with the template when I’m using Netscape…
I signed up with the discussion forum at connick.com. I’m “Moonlit Jazz” there. 😉 Here’s my first post:
Hey all! Yikes, it’s my first time posting here…
Just wanted to say that I saw Harry in San Francisco last night and it was a most AMAZING show. I don’t think I’ve ever said this before, but it was the best Harry show I’d been to (excluding the first one, which can never be compared). And I’ve been going to Harry concerts since 1990! (Man, why does that make me feel old? LOL!)
Even though we were up in the balcony, we were lucky to be in the first row, so we had an unobstructed view. We had a whole view of the stage and the acoustics were great! We could hear everything and see everything. Not bad for “cheap” seats.
Harry was fantastic. He sounded great, he looked good, and he had me from the moment the first note hit. The energy in the place just kept buzzing. And the band! I don’t think I can say enough about them. They jammed hard and every note shot straight. I’m in awe of all the talent I saw.
A most wonderful evening, even though I did have to drag the hubby away from watching his NCAA final four game (Maryland vs. Kansas). But on my end, it was worth it.
Thanks for letting me babble! I should’ve come out here long ago.
Yes, Harry was AWESOME! I wrote down the setlist, but I don’t think I have all the titles right. 😛 Oh well, here goes anyway:

We got a story about Starbucks. Harry was up in Seattle and made a crack about not finding a good place for coffee. A lady in the audience just happened to work for Starbucks and sent him a gift basket, along with a gift credit card, to be used “just like cash.” Well, he didn’t know how much was on it, but he thought it was a hefty sum ($100 or so, to be “conservative,” as he said). So here in the Bay Area, he and two buddies hit a Starbucks and he had his credit card. He thought he would be the man and pay for everyone, but his one friend didn’t want anything and his other friend wanted a muffin. Harry got something fancy (forgot the latte name :P). When the gal rang it up, she told him, “You owe me $1.90.” He asked her if she swiped the card. She told him he owed her $1.90. He had to borrow money from his friend and they figured out that the gift card had a whooping $5.00 on it!
Harry, such a card!
