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 […]
Gig #3, jolly Ol’ Nottingham, city of Robin Hood. 🙂 Actually had a really lovely day prior too as my friends Paula and Wendy came into some spare tickets from someone else so we were all going to hang and then go together. Paula and I had a lovely meal and chat at a place […]
Man, I’m telling ya, Leicester was an interesting day/night in many a way LOL. 🙂 So after Cambridge, the band had a night off but I popped on over to Nottingham to see the final Blancmange show on his tour. Great fun! 🙂 Then it was off to Leicester via National Express. Gotta say, was […]
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 […]
It had been just over a year since I’d seen an OMD show (was supposed to have been at their Butlins gig last December but then some changes made that not the case anymore so..) and almost 2 years ago since I’d seen one up close. And THAT show wasn’t a 4 man show so..the […]
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 […]
So…way back in the 80s when I saw parts of U2s “Live at Red Rocks” video tape I remember thinking “wow, that looks SOOO cool! I would love to go there one day!”. Fast forward to 2012 and my sister and I spent a week in the Denver area for vacation. One of the places […]
So…first time in Poland and by the time I’d gotten to Lodz, where OMD were to play, I felt I’d gotten a feel of the country as I’d spent a few days in Warsaw and then Krakow prior. Being half Polish you’d think it’d be more familiar but though my dad offered to teach my […]
Well, I’ve gotta say, this festival didn’t go as I had expected but I say that in a good way LOL. I’d never been to Spain and tbh, had heard that people who lived there liked to drink a lot and party late so since this was not only a FREE festival night but there […]
Well, day two for me and VIP to look forward to. But before hand, I had set up a bit of a fan gathering to go see some OMD sites. Our group had shrunk a bit last minute but at 11:30, Claudia, Andy (Austin, not Mr. M. LOL), Dave, Sue and Walter, and myself set […]
