Paul Snack

I feel weird because I just found a ticket to Paul McCartney in Philadelphia but I let the time expire because I didn't have enough money/ it was only one ticket with a side view/ it's in Philadelphia which is not where I am/ on August 14th. But I let it go. Hm. Someday, I will see you, Paul McCartney. And you won't see me (you won't see me).

Sir Paul SnackCartney

Daddy snagged Mommy tickets to Paul McCartney in Phoenix this past weekend. They said it's her birthday. Well, they were right, cos it was. So she was the luckiest lady in town, and I was the luckiest daughter around because I was blessed with several Sir Paulian voicemails. I've saved them all and listened to them by the scores.

Here's the setlist for the show she attended:

Get back

Yesterday

Sgt. Pepper's ( reprise )
The End

That's right. FORTY SONGS. Way to go, Pauly, you made my mom's LIFE.

And in the birthday card my dad gave my mom that morning:

"If Sir Paul asks you backstage tonight, GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!"

If that don't prove my parents are Supreme Beings, than I DON'T KNOW WHAT

Sneak Snack

I Smell a Snack

Something around me smells like hot dogs. Hot dogs were featured in a movie I just watched. I'm going to get my hair cut like the girl in the movie. Do people ever put garlic on hot dogs?



I danced once to that song, while wearing duct tape on my mouth! O Cow. The Knack thought they would be bigger than The Beatles. They said so in an interview, which is why they are not bigger than The Beatles.

Stadium Snack

As we New Yorkers all know, this is the last year of existence for two of its Great Baseballian Landmarks. Indeed, the fate of the Yankee and Shea Stadiums we all know and love loom in the fateful shadows of the bigger, better stadiums being constructed next door. The city will not let its citizens forget these imepnding realities, what with the commorative magazines, cups, shirts, flags, NYU graduation caps, headline news features, teary team speeches, etc.

But one tidbit of history captured my special attention today as I was reading over the shoulder of some guy's NY Post on the train. On this day in 1965, The Beatles performed the first ever stadium concert at the Mets' Shea, with a then-record-setting attendance of tens of thousands of screaming girls and boys. 55,600, to be quite exact.

On my first (and most likely last) visit to Shea in June, I thought of this day. I think of it again now.
