#4 and final show of my second OMD tour leg for me. This time I had my friend Cate coming up with me though she wasn’t going to see the show since she just saw the Chicago one on Friday. We were staying an extra day to hit Mall of America as Cate had never […]
St. Pats Day! 😀 Tho, gotta say I was VERY happy Chicago was the night before as the last time I saw a show in the city on St. Pat’s day (ironically at the same venue OMD played) it was a NIGHTMARE! Drunks crossing the street right in front of my car, others almost running […]
Well, this was my “home town” concert. I live about 45 miles NW of the city but I always say Chicago is my home base as there’s very few venues out in the suburbs. 🙁 And since it was local, I worked a bit (gotta pay for travel ya know 😉 ) Got home, ready […]
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 […]
Gig #4 and the last in my “Leg #1” trip. Arrival into NYC wasn’t too bad except for a delay in traffic. Normally I wouldn’t have cared as I had plenty of time to get in, to hotel, to the NYC BaB store and back to hotel to get ready for the concert. However, my […]
Wow, what a night Boston was! But more of than a minute. Compared to the last 2 days, getting to Boston was a breeze! 2 short delays on the train but otherwise, whoo hoo, uneventful! Sun actually came out briefly the next morning for my walk around. I’d been to Boston before so had done […]
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 […]
So I’m going to apologize right now for the lack of details and not as many pics and videos of this show. My brain was fried by the time I got to the venue (will explain in a moment) so all I wanted to do was try to come down and relax. I decided I […]
Wow, what a night! 🙂 But I’ll get to that in a bit LOL. Bexhill is a cute little city on the shore that I’d never been to. Didn’t remember OMD ever playing there either but couldn’t say 100%…but was pretty sure no. I had to say goodbye to Paula after we had had a […]
Well, after the super fun night with friends at Guildford, it was another fun day with Claudia as we had no gig on Sunday. Slept in til 8am, had a leisurely breakfast and then headed out to explore the town a bit. There’s an old castle that the main ruin wasn’t open, nor the museum, […]
