I thought that every now and then I’d post a blog post from the past up here. I’ve got a lot of fun material from the past that most of you have never seen, so every now and again I’m going to put up a blog blast from the past and today is one of those days!

And so away we go, back to August 13, 2012 !

The special guest star for this outing is the Duncester! We met at the Union Square subway station for the trip on the Q train to Coney Island. It’s always a quicker trip when you have someone to talk to and kid around with on the train, so I thank the Duncester for coming out with me. Okay, it’s off we go...

And through the magic of the internet, here we are at the last stop, Coney Island!

4. theboardwalk-aug13.jpg

We came a little early so we could take a walk on the boardwalk and look around.

8. rubys-aug13.jpg

Of course, we have to make a pit stop at Ruby’s bar!

9. crowdedbar-aug13.jpg

Wow, there’s a big crowd at the bar, looks like we’ll be sitting at a table.

And here’s the beautiful bartender Stephanie, who we met a few weeks ago.

15. almostthere-aug13.jpg

Here we are heading down Surf Avenue, almost there!

16. fivebuckseats-aug13.jpg

And we’re here, you have to pay five bucks to get a seat closer to the stage, but still, five bucks for a Joan Jett show, what a deal!

Here’s the program for the show.

As the sun sets, the show is just about to begin.

22. crowd-aug13.jpg

Everyone’s getting up as showtime is about to start.

23. joanjettcloser-aug13.jpg

Ladies and gentlemen...Joan Jett and the Blackhearts! They started the show off with, “Bad Reputation.”

27. anotherscreenshot-aug13.jpg

Here’s a shot of Joan on the big screen, she looks fabulous as always!

28. flashbombs-aug13.jpg

Flashbombs went off during the song, “Cherry Bomb.”

35. nathans-aug13.jpg

Of course I had to get a shot of Nathan’s at night, after the show, always a spectacular view!

36. coneyislandsubway-aug13.jpg

Back to the subway for the trip home.

37. subwaymirror-aug13.jpg

Of course we’ll end with the obligatory subway window shot. Thanks to the Duncester for coming along, it was a great show and a great night!
