I checked on their site to see if they have come to the US yet but they haven't - so hopefully when they hit California, I can go provided it's not on a dreaded weeknight! My brother saw them years ago (he called me after the show saying they opened with The Waterfront and the intro was like 5 minutes long, haha) I'll keep on the look out for dates. It's been a loooooong time since my brother and I went to a concert.

I have to admit by the time the early 90's rolled around I was getting into other things musically and Simple Minds sort fell off my immediate radar. I liked them but did miss their sound that made me like them in the first place. It's interesting how you mention hit and miss and it seems to be on par with the band's hindsight. Anyway, as a side I spent a semester in the UK and befriended a Scottish guy who took me up to Scotland and introduced me to his family. His mum was the most tremendous Simple Minds fan. When we talked about music and favorite bands she showed me her Simple Minds loot and we spent a nice rainy afternoon indoors and had ourselves a listening session through a good chunk of their cataloge. I think she had a bit of a crush on Jim Kerr, hahaha!

Just got some exciting news today. I'm going to Barcelona for all of May for school. Boom!

Thinking of hitting Ibiza again for a weekend. Was thinking of staying until Sonar but my graduation is the same time back home (and considering I'm finishing my undergrad degree, I want to be there).

Still, I'm excited! Wonder if Tom and Ed will be playing a DJ set somewhere in Europe at the time?

Getting married at the court house today! Happy 29th!
(We're still doing the ceremony in a few months to those of you who got the save the date cards [btw, Tom & Ed I don't have your addresses in my Rolodex.])

First off, are you trying to make it so that you only have to remember your anniversary once every four years?
Second, Rolodex, nice!
Third, Pooter (if you see this), are you justice of the peace yet? couldn't you have pottentially joined the happy couple?

Congratulations!!!!!!!

@Rynostar: No, not a justice of the peace, unfortunately. In fact, becoming an attorney does not involve becoming a justice of the peace... I don't think the process is too complicated in California, though.

Congrats Biff!!!!

A leap year marriage - that's pretty effin cool!!


<3

And Ryno, congrats on getting to study overseas. May will be here in a blink!

listening to radio right now. plays prodigys "ruff in the jungle bizness" and "hey boy hey girl" one after another. this is how a sunday morning should begin!


in other news: if everything wents well im going to cuba for a couple of weeks in november.

Happy very very very belated congrats on the marriage Biff! Shame that we didn't know about your registry at Macy's, Target, etc! We would've at least got you a snazzy set of pilsner glasses! Manly hugs from all of us!

Just realised I forgot to tell my mother Happy Birthday... it was 5 days ago. I deserve to be slapped

Oh that's so bad, Ben, breaking your mama's heart like that! not to worry, though - there's nothing like an "I love you, mom" from a son that makes things right in the world.

And Pumisher, Cuba? How exciting! Keep us posted!
