Trivia

  • The town George is a suburb of Seattle, WA, USA
  • Martine Dedek, co-owner of Studio Evolve, had worked out with Sting at The Police's concerts in Seattle in 2007. She contacted Sting's people a couple of weeks before today's show, to let them know she was interested in working with him again. Like the previous year in Seattle, they contacted her just a few nights before the show and plans weren’t confirmed until two days before the concert. Today, feeling a bit nervous, Martine made the long drive from Seattle to the Gorge Amphitheater. She was met by a security person on a golf cart who took her through a maze of roads to the backstage area. It was pushing 90 degrees when she arrived around 5:00pm.
