Well, I have to say that this was the most fun I've had in a long, long, long, time!!!!

After checking in to our hotel and getting "all refreshed", we hit the shuttle bus to Downtown Disney. It was kinda fun (ok, it was sorta lame) to ride in "the little bus", but we got there. Just where we got, I'm not sure, cause it was a severe hike (in designer boots) to get to the show. Next time I spring for the cab.

After a 50 minute wait (really) we get into the HoB restaurant for dinner. And It was great. Mamabear had the NY Steak, and I had the Jambalaya. mmmmmmm doggie!

So after eats, we meets up with the Godfather and head upstairs. And what a great show it was! The best performance I've seen in a long time.

The opening act was somebody called Sunset Room. I really liked several features of the lead singers' voice. Not sure about the whole package. Mamabear bought the cd, so I can decide later.

I'm sure somebody else can post a set list from Berlin's set, so I won't try too hard to remember the songs and their order. There was one surprise, other than that, I was more surprised by what wasn't played.

Terri opened the set with Masquerade, and the place rocked. The next song was "Pictures of You", which Terri later admitted that she couldn't remember the last time it was performed by Berlin. Christmas acoustic songs included something from Charlie Brown's Christmas and Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree.

The set was rounded out with TMBA, Sex, I'm A... an encored by Never Let Me Down Again.

Although HoB had "double-sold" the venue, and everybody was being rushed out, Terri was gracious enough to hang out in the service entrance and hug everybody that came by.

Thank you, Terri!
