BILLY JOEL!!!!

Last night was awesome. I saw Billy Joel live at Olympic Park in Seoul. Wow. He put on a hell of a show, and I'm so glad I got the opportunity to see such an amazing singer and songwriter.

This sign identified the show as a "Super Concert"


Me, Catherine, and Angie - all super-pumped to be here!


The sold-out show before Billy came on:


He opened with Angry Young Man... I filmed a bit of this, then gave it up because I wanted to focus on the AWESOMENESS ON THE STAGE!


Billy rocking out:


He played Piano Man as one of his encore songs. What was awesome was that, for this song, they had the words up on the giant screens - it was like a massive noraebang!


After the show, Catherine and Angie and I decided we were going to get backstage and meet him. At a concert in the States, this would have been nearly impossible due to security. In Korea, they are extremely accomodating.

We ended up at a back door of the stadium, where Catherine just said "Umm, Billy Joel?" No one asked for ticket stubs, wristbands, or any proof that we belonged there. We were directed to a VIP lounge where a bunch of well-dressed Koreans were milling about, and given free scones, muffins, and juice. We were hoping this was maybe some kind of meet and greet, but alas, never got to see Billy. However, we felt his presence in the scones :)

Love you all!

Wow. So frickin' awesome!!! Yay for you, man! If you would've seen him or talked to him, I would've died. Any more concert plans while you're there?

P.S. The custody hearing did not go down. We were rescheduled to frickin' March. :( Scottie's really bummed about it. In other news, you're the top runner for who we're leaving Jordan to in our will. Congrats! Someday you may inherit a little, blonde wild man!!!

LOVE YOU!!!
