I guess this is one we can check off the bucket list. Saw Paul McCartney in concert Saturday night in the city, outdoors at ATT park. A great concert was the topper to a great day. Barb and Marie were already in the city seeing Wicked. We all hopped on BART with the plan to meet for dinner near the park.
All the pieces fell perfectly into place. Barb and Marie waited in line to get into the the old Acme Chop House, which is the full service restaurant at the park. By the time we all got there, the line was still long, but we got to stroll right on in, like rock stars! The place was packed but the girls had cocktails and barstools waiting for us. Now we had to try to find a table. BINGO! Not there 5 minutes and we were all sitting down, having a drink and ordering dinner and watching the Giants finally win a game on TV. The concert was supposed to start at 7:30. by 7:15 we didnt have our food but the waitress plied us with free shots and appetizers. WOOHOO!! All was good because when we finally finished and strolled into the park, found our seats it was 8;15 and the show hadn’t even started!
But at 8:30 the show started, and what a show it was. First of all, its a BEATLE!!! Second, its San Fransisco! 3 hours and 39 songs later, all 40,000 of us shuffled out and onto the streets of the city. We walked 2 miles to BART and barely caught the last jammed packed train to the east bay, did a last minute transfer in Oakland and caught the last train to Pleasanton!
Are we golden or what?!?!?
