Year in Review - Concerts and Theater

Hello to anyone who has bothered to check out my blog. It has been abandoned for some time but I'm feeling slightly more like myself than I have in a couple of months and also got curious about something on this, the first day of the new year. I'm sitting at the airport waiting for my delayed flight to board and wondering, how many shows did I see this year? I won't be able to count them all but since I have the time, here's the list:

Jesus Christ Superstar - Jan 3
Garth Brooks - Jan 26
Rogue Wave - Jan 31
Flight to Athena - Feb 28
Elton John - Apr 19
Michael Buble - May 11
Wicked - May 22
Boeing-Boeing - May 23
The Police - May 26
Cats - June 7
George Michael - June 17
Old 97s - June 20
O.A.R. - June 24
Ricky Gervais - July 9
Ricky Gervais - July 12
John Mayer - Aug 1
Phantom of the Opera - Aug 9
A Chorus Line - Aug 13
The Wizard of Oz - Aug 17

Davy Jones - Aug 23
Spring Awakening - Aug ?
The Raconteurs - Sep 24
All's Well That Ends Well - Sep 26

Jay Brannan - Nov 17
The Color Purple - Dec 3
Super Diamond - Dec 6
O.A.R. (Sophie's Green Christmas) - Dec 10

This is not as impressive as last year and I think the list is a bit incomplete but I'm glad that I'm able to make music and the arts so much a part of my life.

Already lined up this year:
John Legend
Brian Wilson
Elton John and Billy Joel

Here's to 2009!
