Commodore Orpington (a.k.a. Sir Elton Hercules John) coming to Squarebanks

Yes, it’s May, so don’t let the sun go down on me. That yellow brick road has faded away like a candle in the wind. So much for the crocodile rock that I used to visit with Bennie and the Jets. Yes, Rocket Man is on the way.

Why fly all the way to Atlantic City to see Elton John in concert, when it’s so very hot there in July. All you need to do is mosey over to the Carlson Center on May 29th. Yes, it really is true. He’s making three stops in the U.S. this summer and one just happens to be in fabulous Fairbanks, “Destination Superstar,” Alaska.

Of course, anyone who’s experienced the Pump House for Wednesday night karaoke knows that Fairbanks does have a certain mega-star appeal, so it makes complete sense that Elton would count our lovely town as a must-stop.

So, don’t go breaking my heart. Buy a ticket tomorrow. They go on sale at 10 a.m. via ticketmaster.com.

Elton, see you soon!
