Wow, I had just the most AWESOME day and night! In a nutshell (before I talk of the gig LOL) I got to meet up with a Build a Bear friend of mine who lives about 30miles south of Seattle and go for a lovely hike around Discovery Park. The weather got much cooler so […]
So back to America it was for me today but not before having to run to a store for something I forgot at home and seeing some cool murals. I have always liked Vancouver. 🙂 I had plenty of time since Seattle was a seated venue and I’m not a fan of WD so no […]
So MY second tour leg started and it’s 8 gigs on the west coast….Vancouver being the first. It’d been YEARS since I was in Vancouver but it’s a very pretty city! 🙂 I flew into Seattle and picked up a rental car (OMG, 1.5 hours to get it, the line was loooooong!) and then headed […]
I had opted to drive from Orlando to Atlanta (7ish hours) vs fly and I’m SO glad because as it turned out, about a month prior to the tour I found out about a CAPYBARA CAFE! Capybara have become the “it” pet lately and apparently there’s only 2 Capybara Cafes in the WORLD, one being […]
So I left DC to go visit my sister for 5 days (in Nashville) and then hopped a plane to Orlando…to find SUPER HOT weather! I mean dang!😯 I knew FL would be hot but…yuck! I love visiting Orlando tho because there’s a special Build a Bear store that is Dinosaur themed (hence Build a […]
So…as you all know, the OMD tour that was supposed to have happened last fall got moved to this May-July. My goal is always to try and make sure I hit first and last gigs as part of my adventure whenever possible (there’s a special vibe and feel about those two shows, hard to explain […]
Ah, the final gig for me and Pammy found us back to the Palais Theatre only THIS time it was on an easy on/off tram that went right by our hotel and dropped off right by the venue AND, front row seats. Tho funny enough, we had seats #9 and 10 so I thought we’d […]
So new city, same band and friends LOL. But what an ordeal getting to the venue (for me at least, Pammy had no issues coming from the hotel LOL). As some of you know, I collect Build a Bears and love to get city/country exclusives so I had gone out to one of the Melbourne […]
So a beautiful day prior to the gig! Not nearly as hot but sunny with no threat of rain, yay! Pammy and I met for a delicious pancake breakfast (I had lemon curd/meringue pancakes, extra lemon curd LOL) and then headed over to the Royal Botanical Gardens before finishing with some ice cream along the […]
WOW, I still can’t believe I’m in Sydney Australia! A dream trip to come to Australia indeed! Always wanted to come just didn’t know how I felt about the cost and the 21 hours on a plane but OMD was the inspiration for me to make it happen and absolutely NOOOOO regrets! Right, well I […]
