MAN! I just left work on the Disney lot while this was going on. I'm a major major Elton John fan and had the chance opportunity to wander over there from the Wells building and see the Legends presentation. Unfortunately, once you're stuck behind the massive glom of paparazzi, it's not easy to see much, and I wasn't seeing or hearing enough to stick around and wait for Elton. Had I known who to to chat up, I probably could have scored my way into the reception afterwards, but I only found out at the last minute, and dammit, I'm TIRED after work! ;) Thanks for the info!
