Wimbledon - July 4, 2007

On July 4th, I went to the Championships at Wimbledon. I was lucky enough to get Centre Court tickets online the night before. I did have to work on that day, but went straight out to Wimbledon after my shift. I was able to get there in time to see Serena Williams lose to Justine Henin.



After they played, we saw the mixed doubles with Mike Bryan and Lisa Raymond from the USA playing Alex Bogdanovic and Melanie South from Great Britain.

Concert for Diana - July 1, 2007

I was lucky enough to get tickets to the Concert for Diana this last Sunday and it was a great show! Here are some pictures of the many performers and presenters there. Some of the pictures aren't great. I had to use my digital zoom and the pictures aren't as sharp. Also, the lights on the other side of the stage always seemed to be right in line with the performers so it was hard to take good photos of the performers without getting the lights in the picture.




ELTON JOHN opened with one song and then welcomed everyone to the show.

PRINCES WILLIAM and HARRY then came out and welcomed everyone to the show.
