Wow!

I went with a friend to an EJ concert at the old Poplar Creek Music Theatre outside Chicago (which isn't there anymore). It was better than two hours long. As the audience was leaving after the show, he was helicoptered back to his downtown Chicago hotel. It was so cool to see him in the helicopter watching the audience filing out.
