Elton John is coming to Portland, ME, on 2/28.

Do I have tickets? No. x( x(

Fucking hell--how often does ANYONE come to Portland anymore, never mind an international legend.

Crazy.

1. Are tickets still available?

I may still be here by the end of the month (waiting for a job offer elsewhere).

2. Hey, Frank Zappa played there.

And Bruce Hornsby. And Rush. And "Whaddaya Know" broadcast a show live from there.

4. 1988.

I know other big names have been there, though. I think I remember Britney Spears appearing there. (In concert, not outside flashing her lady bits and trying to hit people with a stuffed duck.)
