Well, OMD are on an American tour with B-52s and Berlin but not only am I not a fan of B52s, not much of a fan of Berlin either so originally didn’t think I’d see them at all this time around (no Chicago date even so…) BUT, it got announced that they were going to […]
Day 2… first I should probably apologize now as I won’t have as many specific quotes as last night but I think I was so intent on watching the orchestra and soaking it all in, I remember more the experience as a WHOLE in some ways vs. specific things said. But I WILL have some […]
So…my VERY first time seeing OMD play with an orchestra. I had SO wanted to go to the one in 2009 but my job was such that I wasn’t able to take as many trips and I had tickets booked already to go see them later in the year when they opened for Simple Minds. […]
Well…final show of the tour! Bitter sweet for sure! I woke up realizing it was going to be over soon and admittedly got a little sad. But…been in this spot before as I know many have so…I knew the day and night was going to be special no matter what! 😀 I hit a donut […]
So gotta say, it’s nice to be in a warm state and not having to worry about snow storms LOL. I walked out of Mark’s house (he was kind enough to host me for both Wednesday and Thursday night) to find it quite warm…NO need for my jacket today! 🙂 First was a stop at […]
So…show #1 of Leg #2 LOL 🙂 I should probably put a disclaimer in here…This leg is going to be hectic as I’m working before Chicago and Milwaukee gigs and then driving up to MN with a friend so that’s that day. Staying up an extra day as said friend has never been to Mall […]
So…if my last blog sounded a bit off from my usual happy and excited self, sorry. But as it turned out, the fiasco of travel didn’t end when I went to bed Monday night. Though gotta say, my mentality was better yesturday. I actually got a bit slap happy at one point. I tend to […]
My what a gloomy day I trained into. 🙁 Light rain once I was half way there on the train but luckily it had stopped for my walk from the station to the hotel and tho started again when I got a snack, was done by the time I was heading to the venue so…worked […]
So my UK OMD tour adventure is starting in Cambridge..well, gig wise. I first had a little time in London as my flight was quite the early one. Not used to leaving Chicago at 6:05pm. Normally I head out around 8:45-10pm so…this early flight made it feel like I was taking a late afternoon nap […]
So….show #2 for me and unlike for the Red Rocks show in Colorado, THIS time the weather was NOT looking good. 🙁 I had heard both on the radio and also from my friend from work Debbie, who was going with me to the show, that there was a prediction of rain but by late […]
