Tonight, after a nice dinner at Pizza Works with our friends Emily and Jacob, we decided we were all going to go meet Elton John at the Civic Center. While marveling at Elton's multiple tour buses and Miller Lite trucks, Austin just happened to stumble over three unopened bottles of Rogue Ale, sitting on the sidewalk by one of the many buses. We took this as a sign that we should venture into the Civic Center to go thank Sir Elton for the fancy beverages, ourselves. After a few minutes of standing in the lobby and listening to "Tiny Dancer" and ogling at his $40 tour shirts, we decided to get bold. We all walked around a little bit, and Jacob found a door through which we gained access to the arena! Inside, there were many sights to be seen; not limited to, but including a drunk man who had peed his pants, and an old couple making out to "Rocket Man." After getting kicked off of every open stairwell, and enjoying listening to Elton John play several of his many millions of hit songs, we decided to venture out and enjoy our found beers. Upon exiting the arena, Emily got held back by a small security troll, who asked her for her ticket. After it was determined that we didn't need a ticket to exit, we happily went on our way to the Riverfront to relax the night away.
On a different note, we'd like to mention a cool new record shop called
Ribbon Records that just recently opened up in downtown Peoria! We picked up some neat stuff there on Saturday... So check 'em out!
