INXS At The Palms - 7/23/11

If they haven't played my favorite song, that means there's going to be a second encore, right? - me at the end of the concert last night.

INXS was phenomenal last night, Not sure where I heard it, but best I can say is that they are a professional rock and roll band.  Terrific concert.  Looked for youtube video, only one video uploaded now, I'm sure there will be more.  May edit later with video link.  Hope the people in front if me upload all their pics. and video.  And yeah, somehow they missed 'Elegantly Wasted'.

Had never been to the Palms before and was disappointed with the casino and poker room - the Pearl theater is a nice small venue in the main casino.  Got there in the afternoon, planning to play some cards before the concert.  The poker room was not good, and they had a couple of strange house rules that I won't go into.  Was dealt a hand, and before I looked at my cards, I noticed a big crease in one of them.  Turns out I had AA and won an ok pot when every bet I made was called by a local with a lot of chips in front of him (less when I got done with him).  After the hand, I showed the dealer the damaged ace of hearts and the deck was replaced.  Shortly after, I went to the sports book and watched the Red Sox game.  Don't think I'll go back unless there is another concert I want to see.

Back to my main point, INXS was awesome; JD Fortune, although not Michael Hutchence, is a very good front man for the group will hopefully continue to sing with the band.

Today is a day off and I'm not sure what I'm going to do with myself, besides find something to eat soon.
