No show
We went to see Pavarotti's farewell tour tonight.
While we were walking there I was wondering about the lack of the more sophisticated people amongst the BC Lions fans that were on their way to the building next door to watch their home team (that's Canadian football for you out of town). Reason soon became apparent - the concert had been cancelled due to maestro's illness, only no one had bothered to tell us. I knew some of his dates had been cancelled in Europe earlier this spring, but since no one let me know otherwise I always assumed he was still doing the North American tour... That's it for Ticketmaster customer service, it's not like they didn't have my email address.
Oh well, we came home and watched some mindless testosterone entertainment in the form of Unleashed which had gotten really bad reviews so we weren't expecting too much. But Jet Li was absolutely wonderful - so tender and sensitive I've never seen him that way. Yeah, the plot was full of fairly massive plot holes, but I loved every minute of it.
