Thanks to Veronique for keeping everything going while I got drenched by non-stop rain in Hawaii. I never suspected lightning storms would be the best part of the trip. (Blizzard warnings all week on the Oahu Big Island volcanoes too.) This is a travel day, but in my e-mail is a final ticket giveaway for 2007. There's a pair of seats for Disney Hall on New Year's Eve, the 10:30 pm performance of Belinda Carlisle and Rufus Wainwright. The promotional flackage says "Singing classic French cabaret songs and more, Belinda and Rufus are joined by a cool Parisian band and sassy French dancers for a cosmopolitan extravaganza, all capped by an unforgettable finale fantastique! the Checking the email, With New Year's coming." The tickets, courtesy of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, are free for the first LA Observed subscriber to claim them by email.
