Does anybody else here like this band?
I'm going to the two gigs they're doing here this weekend.
I've been a huge fan of the band for so long and it's such an incredible experience that I just can't believe it. Seriously, I'm so calm, it's so weird...
It's like my mind can't process the fact that a band thad had split up before I was born is doing two gigs in Argentina and I'm going to be there... |

| This is only slightly related, but...At my high school we had this day called Friendship Day with a lot of activites, games and such and one of the games was a doughnut eating contest to Roxanne. The contestants had to eat a mini-powdered donought everytime they heard the word Roxanne in the song. It was so funny because it starts out slow and then they just lose it. |

I'm aware of how lucky I am! And got to buy my tickets on a presale, so I'll have good spots.
I saved all my salaries from the first half of the year just to buy those tickets. That's why I freaked out when I found out Travis was coming, because I didn't have any money left! But then I got a small job and it solved my problem :oP.

It probably originated as a drinking game...but can't really do that at a high school. |

^^ indeed!
I like them.. I don't -love- them like other bands, but I do like them. Sadly I had to miss out on their 2 shows here this week because, well I'm not made of money! damn tickets were too expensive. I've spent too many on gigs this year :( |

really like the Police too. Been to the Amsterdamgig. Great sound, cool new versions of some songs. They played practically every hit they ever had. Steward Copeland was on fire! Still missed the fun on stage you see with bands like TRAVIS and the interaction with the audience was nill, but this concert was at a massive football stadion so,that could be the problem.......
Hope you have a great time!! |

I think the problem might be that they won't even acknowledge each other exists off stage, They all had a massive fall out when they split which has never healed. That said I heard the Croke Park gig in Dublin was totally amazing, I was a fan when younger, first album I ever bought was Outlandos D'amour.

They announced the dates in June, so I had time to save up. But then others gigs came, and school.. and people's birthdays and um, a situation @ my house. Then I decided I was going to ask to see them for my birthday, then the Travis gig came up so it was all done with.
So when are the gigs? do tell us all about them :) |

| I really hate Sting. He comes across as such a smug, self important, emm, well, Cunt to be honest. Not a fan. Him and Phil Collins annoy the shit out of me. |
