I don't think my not being able to make the trip
will shake my friends both on and off list from thinking I'm not still a
hardcore fan (since 86). Even though I live in the U.S. I still consider myself
one of the biggest fans anywhere. Remember, this is the guy who got sympathy
cards from many in his family due to Pete quitting the band.
Yes I have countless CDs, t-shirts, posters and
live shows on CD and tape. Yes I still follow everything Rob, Martin, Jim and
Bones do (not Peter, hey I love the music!) Yes, I get mentioned in Rob's
book. But I do feel like I'm missing out and am somehow less of a fan! If
it weren't for the economy and me losing my job I would be on a plane! Damn. I
am very jealous and wish every one going to have a great time as I never thought
this day would come.
I could maybe afford that but tickets, airfare,
transportation, lodging, from my rough estimates would undoubtedly culminate in
me getting divorced! :-)
Have a great time and please keep us informed on
the list if possible! Blackberry e-mails to the list of the setlist as being
played is also acceptable! Heck, we're crazy fans aren't we!
Again, have a blast there are many of us all over
the globe that will be there with you in spirit!!
