I had arranged for such excellent seats for my hubby and myself and two couples to see Billy Joel in one of his wonderful farewell concerts. It was especially wonderful because back in the eighties, we actually interacted with Billy and Christie. Everyone would enjoy the event all the more with inside knowledge provided by myself.
Wearing a casual jean skirt and jacket (granted, the skirt was a little short) and a cute yellow top, I felt wonderful, hearing my heels as we neared our box. I had my hair up, not wanting it to obscure my view, although it had those frilly wisps my husband loves. The view was wonderful, and the wine was great. The show was about to start, an evening to remember.
I was telling everyone about Billy’s background, when right in front of us, this group plunked themselves down. How the heck did they get those seats! Oh well, I said, and kept talking but then this tall woman, a bitch really, sat right in front of me, and as the show was about to start, she stood right in front of me! I swear, her hair almost hit me! I almost gagged on her perfume. I even had to stop telling everyone about the history of the next two songs, the aroma was so strong.
The music was great, Billy was in terrific form, but every time things were starting to flow, SHE would stand up or gyrate. This was not the way my perfect evening was going to wind up!
Fortunately, there was an early intermission, and I headed to the ladies room, getting there just as SHE entered. I slid in quickly and latched the door. “I think we have some things to discuss” and checked her out as I tilted my head back.
