There is a final decision. I am going to arrange for proper invitations to be printed. Those of you for whom I have real snail-mail addresses will get a formal written invitation. In addition, everyone will get an e-mail invitation. I think everyone will be pleased with the plans. Expect to hear from me by mid-January!

Birthday Number 40
Although it's nearly a year away, my plans are almost solidified and details will soon be going out. All my friends and family members should have already received an email poll with the choices for locales. I've received a decent amount of replies and have narrowed it down to two of the original four places.
Although I am not prepared to reveal the winner (and indeed votes are still trickling in) for another few days or so, I will say the party will be held about a month early so more people can attend. It will be sometime between 7-23-05 and 8-8-05.
I'm just waiting on Karen, the travel agent, to finish checking the details.
I'm excited and hope to see many of you there.
Best,
Eric

Medical Crap
Yeah, whatever. I had a horrible medical experience earlier this month. I wrote very testy snail-mail letters to my soon-to-be ex-doctor and CVS Pharmacy. I will spare you the bloody (literally) details of what started this all and fail to mention it continues. I am in search of an excellent dermatologist who actually gives a shit about his patients.
Be that as it may, I was actually shocked to hear from both the doctor in question (who did not apologize or even make an excuse) but he did want to see me again. I am undecided. I also received three e-mails from CVS's corporate office indicating they are investigating. Although it's too late for me (not in a fatal way) maybe no other patient will be put through the hell I experienced.

Cal Rocks
Ah, yes, the University of California at Berkeley. Often maligned, terminally underfunded, but home of some of the most loyal alumni there are. The most amazing thing at Cal is our passionate feelings towards our wicked red-headed step-sister Stanford University and Junior High School. It was there long before I attended and will be there long after I am gone from this world. This powerful rivalry spawned "The Big Game" and of course "The Play" -- still ranked as one of the most amazing sports moments ever by Sports Illustrated.
Well, there are a few articles you should read. The first, published in Stanford's own student newspaper is the stunning admission that Cal really is better. We already know it, of course, but it's nice to be validated.
http://daily.stanford.edu/tempo?page=content&id=15400&repository=0001_article#
This comes on the heels of an important announcement. The London Times is ancient bastion of news and one of the more respected newspapers anywhere. They have published an objective ranking of the top universities. And we're not talking the best universities in the US, or the UK, or anything like that. These are the rankings of the finest universities on planet Earth. Rarified names such as Oxford, Yale, Cambridge, and such all appear below Cal. It's satisfying to know that according to the London Times, Cal is the second best university in the entire world. As a former Cal student, and card carrying member of the UC Berkeley Alumni association, I already knew that. And now, so does the rest of the world. The link is here: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-1343642,00.html
That is today's fine news.
I will have other news down the road.
Yay.

Alexander The Great
The man may have been great or maybe he wasn't. I am offering no opinion on that count. Instead, I offer my two cents on the movie.
The movie was visually beautiful. The sound was a bit distracting, but that may have been the theatre I was in. The movie suffered from "too" problems.
(1) It was TOO long by a solid hour
and
(2) There were TOO many man-on-man moments. I don't care if someone is gay or not but I don't really like when a film goes out of its way to show something like this because it shouldn't be noticed.
and
(3) The acting was TOO amateurish. It was spotty at best. The actors' accents were mixed and that was distracting as well.
See Alexander, but expect to be underwhelmed.
In other movie news, National Treasure was entertaining. In fact it was wildly entertaining if you suspend your belief in all that is common sense. The movie is absurdly silly and has continuity gaffes galore but, unlike Alexander, I had a good time. Ultimately, isn't that why one goes to the movies?

Too much turkey, bitch.
I ate too much turkey. That's the traditional Thanksgiving lament, and I am no exception. I'm still sick, not that anyone cares, but since I have a blog I get to tell the world. Like it matters. Hah.
I have some computer equipment and software for all platforms that I'm trying to sell cheap if anyone out there wants it. I have software for all platforms, hardware for all platforms, and a number of computers. Surf to www.darsys.com/forsale.html for the full list. As I state, I am taking reasonable offers. I'd rather sell it cheaply to someone I know than deal with e-bay.
Other than that, it's been an uneventful week. I've spent a ton of money upgrading software to work with my new G5. I've had to upgrade a number of expensive packages, pay additional shareware fees, buy new software and hardware. Quite a few hidden costs to migrate from an OS-9 based G4 to an OS-X based G5. Not sure that I'd recommend it to anyone. Props to my friend Tom who's been more than helpful and patient in helping with this ghastly process.
Have a great day. Eat Turkey.

Trumped!
Wow. Trump filed for bankruptcy for his casino operations. Why is this in my blog? I'll tell you why.
I know a bit about casinos because (A) I am a gambler and (B) I own stocks in lots of casinos. The one thing I can tell you is that all well-run casinos make money. Lots and lots and lots of money. This tells me that Mr. Trump is not a good manager. Trust me, anybody with an ounce of common sense who has some experience gambling could run a profitable casino. It's hard not to be a profitable casino. Really hard.
If you gave me $100 million dollars and told me to return $110 million by the end of the year running a casino, I could do it easily. I bet I'd pocket a good $10 million or more after that as well. It's all percentages. Steve Wynn and George Maloof have done it superbly. You don't build billion dollar mega-resorts because people come and win. People lose.
Just because you're famous doesn't mean you're smart. I think Trump's bamboozled people for a long time. He's just a jerk. He's great at real estate, but keep in mind this is not his first bankruptcy. I just wanted to rant about this.

Bronchitis
Hi:
I've been conspicuously absent for awhile. I went to the NIFS show and contracted bronchitis -- in fact dozens of people who went to the show all have it. It's rather unpleasant. Then, I left town again this weekend for another business meeting. Flying with bronchitis is a horrible, horrible experience. Flying to Minnesota with bronchitis is just stupid. I was getting better and now I'm not. I have nobody to blame but me.
Three weekends in a row away from home. I'm tired of travelling and think I'm done until the end of the year. At least I hope I am.
-- E
I was thinking more about my previous 'friends' post. I want to edit it or delete it and start over. What are people's opinions of bloggers who change past posts? (I mean besides fixing broken URLs and typos). Comments appreciated.

The tickle in my throat....
.... is most irritating. I'm just back from a business trip to Lost Wages, Nevada and I think I'm getting sick. Ugh. Ecinacea time. I hope I spelled that right. I know nobody cares, but it was time for a blog post.
I notice this post title sounds like porn.
I've been reading a lot lately.
I wonder if they'll name the new hotel after me since I apparently paid for it with my losses.
I could develop a serious gambling problem if I lived in Vegas.

iSight Camera
Damn. I finally hooked up and used my iSight. It's awesome. Everybody run out and get one right now. I tested it with my friend Tom ::waves:: for a few minutes but he had to go do homework. Eeeeewwww.
Just as I was getting ready to sign off, I get an IM from Josh who also has an iSight. Wow. Josh, who I haven't seen in over two years, and really haven't had any meaningful communication in at least three years. It was interesting, that's for sure. We showed off each other's pussies* and played around -- showing off things around the room, papers, flyers, computer parts, etc. It was kind of fun, even though it probably sounds silly. It made me realize how much I miss him. Or, as he would say, cool beans.
I still hate OS-X because Apple has sacrificed form over function. Sure, it's beautiful to look at it but it's not nearly as intuitive as it used to be. The Mac's single best feature has always been if you wanted to do something, you just did what came naturally (drag, drop, click, etc) and Apple, in one evil, fell swoop has taken away a lot of that. Things just don't work they way you expect any more. OS-X is also unspeakably sluggish with some applications, and this machine I have is blisteringly fast. Other applications don't behave that way so I'm not sure what that's about.
By Tuesday evening, I will be making a very special post about the Florida Panthers to my mailing list. Normally, I only post to my mailing list but I'm going to post a little teaser here as well as the appropriate Usenet group. It's being posted solely for your amusement.
I still think Rob Barry's got a cool blog. Him and Wil Wheaton keep me entertained with their blogs. I know there are many blogs, and I've peeked around but there's nothing to top the visceral excitement of being part of someone else's life when you feel like you know the person albeit from afar.

A sad day for memories of my past...
http://www.sptimes.com/2004/08/25/Citrus/Scouts_sell_land_to_w.shtml
Camp Lone Oak -- where I spent several summers and collected some very fine memories is going to be no more.
It's sad as your childhood memories are damaged over time. I am saddened by this, but it is, perhaps, the price of progress. No, I don't believe that. Ah, I do miss my days in Boy Scouts. It was a great thing, and I think everyone should be part of Scouts. Yeah, they're an intolerant overly-religious bunch, but they teach some good stuff. I still approve of them as a whole.

A sad day for America....
Ugh. Well Shrub won. It proves you can never underestimate the stupidity of Americans as a group. Or, as my history teacher Ronald Nieves used to say, "The Masses Are Asses" -- and how right he was.
For the people who voted for four more years of insanity, I hope they remember that as their sons and daughters are needless killed in a pointless war over Iraq. I hope they remember that as the economy slips into the tanks again. I hope they remember that as their job is shipped overseas. I hope they remember that as their personal freedoms are slowly stripped away in the guise of "homeland security"
President Bush will continue his policies that make America and Americans targets wherever in the world we go. If you think it's not true, put a shirt on it with a picture of Bush and walk through the streets of almost any European capital. See how well loved you are. Less than six months ago MacLean's magazine polled Canadians -- even they don't have a favourable opinion of us. Lovely.
The world is not a safer place today. Osama BinFuckWit -- the guy who really caused this state of affairs -- is still at large. Saddam, though certainly a scumbag, is in jail -- but at what cost? America has no right to be in Iraq nor does it have the right to be the self-appointed Police State of the world.
America is going to become a very conservative State. Individual rights are going to be crushed and come under the provenance of the far right religious fringe. If you're gay, Muslim, or in any other minority, you better hide. This administration doesn't like you and doesn't believe all men are created equal. Wait until there Supreme Court is padded with more conservatives and the balance shifts. Goodbye Roe v Wade (remember Bush's comments in the debates if you think this isn't out the door).
As George Orwell said in Animal Farm, "Some men are created more equal than others" and that's who is in charge of this formerly fine country for four more years. We are supposed to elect a president who will do the best job for the entire country, and not a president who will do the best job for some of the country and sadly small-minded people did just that.
You, dear reader, are entering a very dark chapter of American history and even world history. If you didn't vote for Bush at least you can be proud of that. If you aren't an American, please don't judge all of us harshly: we're not all self-centered idiots who have no clue that these is a whole entire world out there.
May God Have Mercy On Our Soul <-- I bet Shrub would like this closing line

Which Asshole?
As someone asked me today, "Which asshole are you voting for?" That pretty much sums the election up. Yeah, you all know I'm voting for Kerry because I remain convinced that Bush Jr will go down as one of the worst presidents this nation has ever had. However, I don't really like Kerry so much either. This year marks a big change, in a number of positions I am voting Republican because the Democrats have put forth a number of really scummy candidates (especially Castor). And as much as I hate Shrub Jr, I really like Jeb so far -- he's done a good job mostly. Sure, he's no Lawton Chiles but he's decent and means well.
I am not voting today.......... until after work :) The line this morning was impossible and there was nowhere to even park. If you don't vote today, don't complain tomorrow.
-- Eric, who really wishes his blog was as cool as Rob Barry's. His Blog has a certain Je ne sais quois about it.

A weekend in the life of?
All sorts of stuff to say. First, I went to Halloween Horror Night at Universal with my kid sister. It was interesting. She screams. A LOT. Everything scared her and I laughed my ass of watching her. Yet it was unusual because she loves to watch horror movies. The best part was the people at the studio could tell she was afraid so they picked on her more because of it. Yeah, a few times I got scared. Mostly when they barked at me, I growled back.
I didn't go to work today but I should have. I haven't been so unmotivated about work in a long time, plus I didn't feel all the well. Nothing like a drive back from Orlando with your maniacal kid sister at the wheel to kick the stuffing out of you. I'll skip all the things that were irritating about it, because as a teenager, I probably had many of those same bad habits, but I never ever came within six feet of ramming an oil tanker. Now that was scary.
As for the new G5, well I'm having some trouble getting used to it. Some of it's pretty cool. I can even learn to like some parts of OS-X but lots of it is designed around eye candy instead of functionality and I still find myself using classic a lot. But for browsing, I now have Firefox on my Mac. But Mac FireFox isn't as good as Windoze FireFox and that pisses me off.
The election is tomorrow and all attempts by myself to participate in early voting have failed. I am so not looking forward to that.

Blogging on a new computer....
I have a brand new G5. Yay! Now I've got a G4 I'm going to have to sell on e-bay. Anybody want a G4 at a great price?
In other news, I have some news that I am dying to share but can't just yet. It could be sooner or it could be later. We'll see what happens. I am so psyched if it really happens.

Anal Psoriasis
Did I mention that FireFox rocks? You NEED to make it your browser of choice. I am falling in love with it. That is today's big news as far as I'm concerned. Oh, and the Sox won. I hate baseball but am glad they beat the curse. I am tired of the damned UF Zook/Spurrier drama.
I am irritated with AOL because they have a dictionary module so you can check spelling BUT it has only one dictionary (US English). I think that's dumb as not all their members prefer to communicate in English (the majority probably do) but how on EARTH is English the only language I can spell check in? I mean, if you're going to have a dictionary feature, for God's sake include US English, Proper (UK/Canada) English, French, and Spanish.
Ah well. There, I've bored you all to tears.
PS: I ate corned beef hash for dinner. And J. Carney is selling blogshares in my blog. Don't ask. Please. I'm sure he'll post a comment in reply to this one day.

Yay! Seti@Home rocks and for your pleasure, here are my personal SetiStats. If you want your stats like this, the URL is inside the graphic. It's free and it's cool. Of course you all need to run Seti@Home. Go to my website www.darsys.com/seti.html for more details and all the links you need.

My Blog Links
You have noticed I've added links to some blogs. OK, why are they here?
Rob Barry: I've known him since he was a kid --- thought he probably wishes I hadn't said that. We 'met' I suppose, when he found my BBS. But my first encounter with Rob was when he asked me to help him with a programming project he was toying with. Once, I faxed him answers to his homework. He's what we call a 'net' friend because we've never officially met -- though I did run into him at a Heat game many years ago. His blog is rather random but I don't mean that in a bad way.
Wil Wheaton: AKA Wesley Crusher. His blog is cool and he seems to be a decent person. It proves sometimes you can be wrong about someone. Wil is not Wesley. Read his books, ok? Read his blog. I wish I were his friend.
Dave Barry: He's been making my laugh nearly my entire life. What more can you say? People ask if Dave is my friend. It's a nosey-ass question, don't you think? Dave knows who I am and would recognize my name. I know who Dave is. We've met a few times. I've not been to his house and he's not been to mine. His blog is listed because it'll make you laugh even though it's mostly judi who makes the posts.
Ernest Reardon: He's another 'net' friend. He's a talented photographer, BTW. He's here because his blog is so real life. Read it and you'll see what I mean. His blog is like Wheaton's without the celebrities.
Neil Gaiman: I'm a fan. He's an amazing writer and his blog can be quite interesting.

Rob Barry: I've known him since he was a kid --- thought he probably wishes I hadn't said that. We 'met' I suppose, when he found my BBS. But my first encounter with Rob was when he asked me to help him with a programming project he was toying with. Once, I faxed him answers to his homework. He's what we call a 'net' friend because we've never officially met -- though I did run into him at a Heat game many years ago. His blog is rather random but I don't mean that in a bad way.
Wil Wheaton: AKA Wesley Crusher. His blog is cool and he seems to be a decent person. It proves sometimes you can be wrong about someone. Wil is not Wesley. Read his books, ok? Read his blog. I wish I were his friend.
Dave Barry: He's been making my laugh nearly my entire life. What more can you say? People ask if Dave is my friend. It's a nosey-ass question, don't you think? Dave knows who I am and would recognize my name. I know who Dave is. We've met a few times. I've not been to his house and he's not been to mine. His blog is listed because it'll make you laugh even though it's mostly judi who makes the posts.

Lost Friends
Well, maybe a little serious post here. I've been thinking about friends that I've made and lost over the years. People naturally come in and out of your life. That's just how things work. Sometimes we work harder on some friendships than others, sometimes we deliberately break some friendships, and sometimes death happens. Still, when you work at a friendship and it fades away, sometimes you experience regret and/or pain.
So, I decided to list some people here and talk about them. Maybe they'll even read this, but I doubt it.
Eric Hedlund. Of all the people I can think of, this is probably the most frustrating. But when only one person does the work, it can't last forever. I can honestly say I'm really, really, really glad he was part of my life, albeit for too short of a time. So many things could have happened, Some things, I suppose, were never meant to be. But it still hurts. So there.
Dorothy "Dee" Swansburg. In this case, sadly, death happened. She died too young (34) and too soon. :(
David Parisse. I even went to the trouble of finding him not that long ago, he wrote back even. I wrote him back and that was that. Not meant to be. Another decent guy. I hope he's happy :)
Steve Bernacki. I just lost touch with him. It was sad. Ever think in the back of your mind, you'd have been really good friends with someone if it just was given a chance?
Rob Henning. Psycosis on AOL back in the day. I don't know why I liked him, but I did. He was just one of those really cool guys. Someone told me he was dead but I can't imagine 'cause he was so young. He vanished without a trace.
There are lots more, too, but I just picked a random sampling. There are people I'm friends with whom I wish I were better friends with -- that list could go on forever. There are also people who aren't in my life anymore and I'm really glad. When things are looking up, it's easy to be friends. I'm leaving all the names off this part lest the involved people get embarrassed and/or pissed.
When things are down you know who your real friends are. I am very fortunate to have people like that in my life. These people are honestly good friends. I wish I had more, and I wish I were even better friends with the ones I have because you can't get too much of a good thing.
So there. A serious post. Happy?

Another Day At The Races
Yesterday, I went to Estero, Florida to watch two ECHL teams play (Florida Everblades v Texas Wildcatters). I got my minor league hockey fix, had fun, and spent most of the day driving back and forth from Miami to Estero. I was for the Wildcatters and, happily, they won. Yay.
Today, I watched football all day. Not productive, but as a guy, sometimes it's just what you do. I gave away my Dolphins tickets and watched on TV instead. They won and they are no longer winless. But that doesn't mean they don't suck. I then watched the Jets v New England (in HDTV) which was an interesting game and I had very mixed feelings about it, to be honest. I despise New York sports teams (the Jets the most of all, followed by the Rangers, Yankees, Knicks, Giants, Mets, and so forth) with a passion. But I also don't like the fact the Pats are on a 21 game winning streak. Ah well. Mixed feelings and sports.
Cal won yesterday and that pleases me to no end. I am hoping Cal makes it to the Rose Bowl. Roll on you Bears.... If you have to ask, the University of California Golden Bears. I am a fan of course, what with me being in the alumni association and all -- proving they'll let ANYONE in :) In fact the whole top ten AP list won yesterday. The BCS still sucks so don't get me started. UF lost which is good. Hah.
I ate dinner at Boston Market tonight. I thought about changing the visual part of the blog and decided it was too much work. Then I thought about adding "Ad Sense" to my website (Google Ads) but they wanted a street address and I don't give that out to anyone. Instead I added links to the few blogs I actually read. In doing so, I found Rob had actually put me in his blog and claimed I validated his existence. I got a huge kick out of it. One day, maybe, he'll let me buy him a drink.
See? And you thought my blog was always going to have controversial or entertaining stuff. Today we've settled for the absolutely mundane.

Hockey Playing Future Presidents
In the current "The Hockey News" there is a full page article on John Kerry. As it turns out he's a true hockey fan and was a player for some years. He still ice skates recreationally. Yet another reason to save America and not vote for Shrub.
Kerry played a charity game earlier this year with some retired ex-NHLers. It's an interesting article and contains no political statements whatsoever. Politics, as always, don't belong in sports. Sports, for better or worse, continue to be full of politics.
-- Eric
PS: Please remember that November 2, 2004 has been designated as National Celibacy Day:
No Bush, No Dick.

The Dave Retires
I am sad to report the leader of all Barryons, our icon, the Dave himself has announced he's going on indefinite hiatus today. I'm crushed and sad. I'd like to rail on about how insensitive and selfish he's being, but hat would be insensitive and selfish. Instead, I wish him the very best of luck in his future endeavours. I'm sure he'll do great.
I know he's going to keep writing books (YAY!) and finish up his current movie (um, well, at least he's writing books). I'm sure he'll spend more time with his family and that's good too. I hope he's made provisions for the eternally invaluable and entirely irreplaceable judi.
Not sure what else to say, I'm sure as you all wake up and read the Herald you'll find out as well.

Well It's Time To Go Public
I am going to announce my blog later tonight or tomorrow. I'm done tinkering with the look as best as I can. I'm curious to see if people think I should keep going with this or if I'm just boring everyone :)
Blogger.com is neat in one aspect. It's easy to set up a blog if you want, but if you have some patience you can actually configure it to host the blog on your OWN site. So you don't need some funky address. That appealed to me.
I may not have all the features working right yet, so if you find something busted (or ugly) or have any other issues, drop me an e-mail. I'll try and fix them.

Scum Sucking Bastards (NHL Lockout)
Here's a subject near and dear to my heart. This is an OPINION piece dammit.
The NHL Lockout. First, let's start with the fact that the owners are low-life scum, the players' union is low-life scum. The commissioner is scum and the NHLPA boss is scum. So what we have is a pond (frozen) full of scum. Second, we have the fact the one side is SLIGHTLY less scummier than the other. Sadly, it's the owners. I hate to side with them because I have a natural distaste for owners of sports teams in all leagues (Huizenga, Waronker, Davis, Cohen, etc).
We are experiencing CLASH OF THE EGOS here. Bettman v Goodenow. It's a simple thing to solve. Lock 'em in a room with any fan from any city -- no food, water, restroom. Some common sense from the fans, and a few kicks to their collective testicles and it'll all be over.
A soft-cap PLUS a luxury tax PLUS a "Larry Bird" rule all tied to gate receipts adjusted by inflation index. All figured to be computed in one currency US$ or C$ is irrelevant based on the Int'l Bank exchange rate average over the 90 days prior to the start of the season. To compensate the players move UFA back from 31 to 27. Hard Rookie cap removing signing bonuses (but allow performance bonuses).

Shout Out to Friends
Politics and Me
This is my first REAL post and in it I will encourage everyone to PLEASE VOTE in this upcoming election. If you have any sense of decency, you will vote for Kerry instead of Bush. Bush is an example of everything that is wrong with this country and the world.

(I'm not a huge Kerry fan but Bush is a disgrace to this nation)

Elton John -- Live at Royal Albert Hall
This is a retro-post. I put this online 24 December 2005 using the date it was originally sent out.
I have just returned from London where I flew especially to see a special Gala Charity Concert at Royal Albert Hall. I obtained the tickets through eltonjohn.com not that long ago. When you factor in airfare, hotel, meals, and such this was by far the most expensive concert I ever went to. And worth every single penny.
I will skip the details of the trip as not to bore you with yet another London synopsis. I did have some enjoyable experiences, but I shall skip right to the meet.
Arriving at Royal Albert Hall, I had to go to will call to turn in my ticket voucher. Tickets to this event were very lovely and were oversized with an image of RAH printed in 24k gold leaf. I had a VIP ticket on the floor, row 11, seat 11. That’s dead center in front of Elton and his piano with an unequalled view.
This event was a formal event and being the VIP area gentlemen were expected to wear jacket and tie (or tuxedo) and ladies suitable formal evening wear. I’ve never had to dress like this for a concert, but I did. This concert was in aid of the Elton John Scholarship Fund at the Royal Academy of Music and conducted by James Newton Howard.
The event consisted of Elton, the band and the Orchestra and Choir of the Royal Academy of Music, at Royal Albert Hall, London, England, on July 4, 2004 at 7 o’clock in the evening. The audience was full of VIPs including such notables as Dame Judi Dench and HRH the Duchess of Gloucester.
The floor seats were filled with the lucky few who had tickets from eltonjohn.com and the gentry of the British Empire (MPs, OBEs, CBEs, etc). Everything was strictly formal. The floor seats were velvet covered folding chairs. The first official crushed velvet seating section in RAH was filled with many other well dressed individuals. Following that were the boxes. Then those were followed the regular stadium-type seating with the regular crowd who managed to get tickets.
The stage was under the massive pipe organ in the back of the hall. Elton was on the stage with his piano at exactly five minutes after the starting time (one doesn’t keep a Duchess waiting, I suppose). Next to him were four of his bandmates. Behind him were the creme-de-la-creme of the Royal Academy of Music’s orchestra all dressed in their finest. And then in the first few rows of seating were the Choir of the Royal Academy.
Elton gave a little speech about the fund. Then he explained that he would be selecting songs that would go well with choir and orchestra. His normal hit-heavy set list with famous standards was not to be, though there are no complaints. Songs such as Rocket Man, Benny and the Jets, and Pinball Wizard were not to be. Knowing that many people might expect, in advance, to be disappointed. They would be proven wrong. This was the second best concert I’ve ever attended. Here’s the set list for Elton's concert at the Royal Albert Hall:
Sixty Years On
The Greatest Discovery
I Need You To Turn To
Border Song
The King Must Die
Burn Down The Mission
Believe
Come Down In Time
Tell Me When The Whistle Blows
Tiny Dancer
Madman Across the Water
Holiday Inn
Levon
Sorry Seems to be The Hardest Word
This Train Don't Stop There Anymore
Philadelphia Freedom
Have Mercy on the Criminal
Carla/Etude
Tonight
Take Me to the Pilot
Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting
(encore)
Don't Let The Sun go Down on Me
Your Song
The sounds of the orchestra in that marvellous building were awe-inspiring. I imagine they could have played ANYTHING at it would have sounded like angels singing. Then when the choir got in as well it was amazing -- nearly a religious experience.
There weren’t many people behaving as they would at a normal concert. There were not people dancing in the aisles, standing on chairs, and such. Some songs a few of the braver souls got up and danced a bit but it was a decidedly subdued good time.
Elton announced the concert had raised over £1.5 million pounds and that got a cheer. Then after it was over he ran back onto stage to announce that Greece had just scored and it was one to nil in the Euro Cup 2004 match and the crowd reacted to that.
The crowd shuffled out in an orderly fashion, very pleased.
I really wish I could have recorded one of the songs so you could hear what it sounded like.

Harry Potter: Prizoner of Azkaban (Review)
This is a retro-post. I put this online 24 December 2005 using the date it was originally sent out.
Harry Potter: Prisoner of Azkaban (Review)
SPOILERS
I saw the movie today. A week late, but it was well worth the wait.
This Potter is different from the other two films as it is still for the kids, no question, but there are also multiple levels and it’s got some very decidedly adult stuff.
You know you’re in for a different Potter from the opening scene where Harry is playing with his wand under the covers to avoid being caught. It’s clear it’s meant to work on more than one level and it does.
This Potter is darker, and yet retains the friendly tone that makes it feel warm on comfy.
The kids have all grown up. Ron looks the same, Hermione is going to be a hottie, Harry’s turning into a fine young man. Besides visually turning into young adults, there are changes (glances, hand holding, and more).
Puberty was less kind to Draco. At least he’s not a cute cheruby little kid anymore. However his character has turned into a whiney cry-baby which is not the same as in the book.
And then there’s Sirius Black. Yay! A fine job here. I can’t wait until his expanded roles as indicated in future books. Dumbledore’s replacement is also good. I was prepared to hate him, but I didn’t.
The big effect for the film is the dementors but I just didn’t feel they were ominous enough. Perhaps it was me or perhaps they were trying to keep it kid friendly. I don’t know.
The film follows the book fairly well but LARGE sections of the book are missing. The Map (for instance) appears as a gift from Ron’s two brothers but there is no backstory as to why it’s significant.
Two thumbs up for the director! I wasn’t sure if this was going to work, but it did. Although the film is 2h 30m it’s a tight film and it doesn’t seem it at all.
And that’s that!
