The Police and Elvis Costello

After suffering a severe disappointment as a 14 year old - I wanted to see the 1983 Police picnic (with Blue Peter, King Sunny Ade and others) so bad but no way as the family was going to the cottage for two weeks. Then there was the Synchronicity tour for which I was probably told I was too young - I finally am going to see The Police live. With Elvis Costello to boot. I ended up splurging and have 12th row tickets section B for Scotiaplace in Kanata (formerly the Corel Centre). Nah, I'm not just a little bit excited!

I saw Sting some 20 years ago at Wonderland with Canada and the circle comes around - I'm going to see the Police with her in her (current) home town!






I used to have a huge poster of this last picture that was drymounted. I think I am seriously regretting letting my parents get rid of it. Sigh. See what happens when you get rid of things? You always regret it!!

Woo hoo!!!! Yes, I wanted to go to the Police Picnic. Steph and I thought we would just take the bus from London to Toronto for the day. Our parents had other ideas (it sounded reasonable to my 14 year old self. Now that I'm a parent, I kind of see their point!).

Can't wait!!!!
