after we spent a lot of time getting ready – amy was in a flurry of fixing our hair and putting false eyelashes on us – we got in a cab for the short ride over to the Park Theater at the \u00a0Monte Carlo for the cher concert. \u00a0it may be her final farewell tour, but i’m pretty sure this is the 3rd farewell i’ve seen.<\/p>\n

we stopped at the buffet at the monte carlo and had to panic a little because there was a big line. \u00a0but it moved lickety split and we had oodles of time for the many delights of the buffet.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

even though the buffet included pretty much all the food in the world, i didn’t overindulge too badly…except for the desserts. \u00a0which i ate all of.<\/p>\n

i like this photo because you can see the sparkles amy sprayed into my hair. \u00a0you gotta have sparkle when seeing cher.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

of course i went a little bonkers taking too many pictures, but i did whittle it waaaay down – i think i took about \u00a0a hundred, and pared it down to less than 20.<\/p>\n

i also shot some video and i’ll try to post it although youtube will probably shut that down right away.<\/p>\n

we were pretty darn close to the stage, so that was great.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The park theater is pretty enormous and just about sold out as far as i could tell. \u00a0online it says that seating in the theater is anywhere from 5,200 to 6,400. \u00a0either way, that’s a whole lotta people.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

and of course cher made a spectacularly grand entrance from up high.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

i mean, just think how heavy that wig must be…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

there were, of course, huge screens so we could see her really close up.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

she chatted a bit here and there, and one of the first things she said was “I’m 71, what’s your granny doing tonight?”<\/p>\n

i’m writing this post on my birthday, and i’ve had a few moments of feeling old, but cher is totally inspiring. \u00a0not that i’ve ever been able to parade around in so few clothes, and i certainly won’t be doing that when i’m 71, but boy does she look good!<\/p>\n

here’s a snippet of the opening number, until youtube takes it down.
