#69...Las Vegas comes to Reading, Pa. The Cher Farewell Tour.

Okay, so, I was going along, minding my own business when my husband comes home and says - "A, don't make plans for tuesday nite - we're going to go see Cher in concert.  It's her farewell tour.." 

I'm thinking, I seriously hope he didn't spend money on those tickets...I mean, I like Cher and all, but I really had no burning desire to go see her...and I wondered to myself, which farewell tour was this going to be for her...I didn't know she still had time for tours, what with being busy doing infomercials and all..

"Brother Mark has two extra tickets for us," he went on to say... 

For those of you who don't know, Brother Mark, is Bud's brother who is always very generous and kind-hearted and loves to go out and do things.. In short, he and his lovely wife Lori, were going to go too - the plan was that we would meet up with them at the show.

Great! I said. Thinking it would be fun to spend a night out with them - we rarely get to do things as couples anymore.

"Where in Philly is she playing?" I inquired. 

"Oh, not philly, the show is in Reading," my husband answered back..

in Reading.

that's in Pennsylvania.

if you're like me, you remember Reading from playing Monopoly.  Thats where they have the Reading Railroad..somewhere between Virginia Avenue and Marvin Gardens I think.

Oh, and they have shopping outlets.  and a pagoda. (ask robin)

"Oh." I replied. "They really have concerts in Reading?" still trying to comprehend the logistics.

"Sure, at the Sovereign Center." came his reply.

Cher...

is coming to Reading.

I mean, Cher - picked Reading as a stop on her farewell tour? This should be interesting, I thought to myself....  (continued)
