WOW, what a weekend!!! So, for those of you who just want to skip to the chase and get to the OMD portion (no offense taken, this is going to be a longer than normal blog so.. đł :lol:), scroll down to the paragragh that starts with “So Day 3”. Â But for everyone else, here’s […]
So I had a couple days in Portland before heading over to Salt Lake City. One main thing done….go to Voodoo Donuts!!!! It’s kind of world reknown and OMG, the variety of donuts, unbelievable. I tried a few and liked most(not a big fan of the maple bacon so tossed most of that an one […]
Well before anything, it was a sad goodbye to Missy and Mark as I took them to the airport so they could both fly home. I’ll get to see Mark again in LA but not Missy as she’s doing San Fran and I’ll be at Coachella so….I’d forgotten the one hard thing about OMD tours…goodbyes. […]
After 2 days of travel adventures, today went quite smoothly. Nice breakfast together, a bit of busy work and then we were on the road again. There were a few heavy rain spots that caused a bit of caution but otherwise we were fine and arrived to the hotel with some time to spare and […]
Well, we finally made it to Seattle…but though I had hoped at the end of last blog it would occur uneventfully….it didn’t. We ended up at Border Control for about 2 hours due to some missing papers for one of my friends (won’t say which one ;o) and to add insult to injury, there was […]
Well, here we go yet again.  It’s time for another OMD tour and I’ll be blogging all the gigs I’m going to.  First up…NA  but  this time around, the tour is a bit different because it’s split in two parts due to them doing the Coachella Music Festival in CA so mostly west coast gigs […]

Johannesburg….this was actually a return for Greg and I as we had arrived to the city first (before Cape Town) to do a bit of sightseeing and also an overnight safari at Pilanesburg. OMG, THAT was amazing!!! Aside from the gigs of course, the safari was the biggest thrill for the trip (well and the […]
Wow, never thought I’d be in Cape Town South Africa! But when I heard OMD were playing Joburg I thought “eh, why not?” :lol:. SO glad they added a CT gig because this place is gorgeous!!!! So first off was the arrival to the hotel. OMG, I walked into my room and found not a […]
