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 […]
So….back at the lodge reeling from another great show but also sad it’s all over. What a great crowd! First time I’d ever seen a, er, ‘matinee’ gig but you’d think it was 8pm again from the response! 😀 😆 😉 But first, Greg and I got to experience SA’s public transit LOL :lol:. We […]
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 […]
OMD Tour Stop #20 – La Zona Rosa Austin TX, October 13th, 2011 LOL, today saw the earliest departure I had to do the whole trip, it wasn’t even fully light yet. For me, this was the “end of the road” gig as I wasn’t going to Mexico City so as Mark and I headed […]
OMD Tour Stop #19, Cains Ballroom, Tulsa October 12th, 2011 Well, the day started with an early wake up call because I had a 5 hour drive to Tulsa and was also picking up bouncing buddy Mark at the airport as he had decided to come to the last two shows…whoo hoo! A couple of […]
OMD Tour Stop #18 – House of Blues, Dallas, October 11, 2011 Well, after a tearful goodbye to Missy at the airport, we parted ways as she was flying a different airline back to San Fran and I was leaving sunny San D. for the predicted rainy Dallas (though seeing as how they’ve been in a drought, […]
