  1. Hehe I love road trips, don't get me wrong! It's just that "getting somewhere" is easier and cheaper to fly! But if the road trip is a planned part of the fun, that's a different story
  2. Just out of curiosity, Donna - why by car? If you calculate the fiscally estimated 0,30 € it costs to run a car per kilometer, you're at 1392,00 € ( ~ $ 1987,00) one way. Given that you also have to get the occasional motel room, I guess you could've bought quite some flight tickets for that money?
  3. Um .... I think so. We have 20 and 21, and it is the most middle seats in the right section, so I guess 23 and 24 are a bit more towards the right
  4. Frankfurt and Berlin for us, both front row right section towards the centre.
  5. We once made it to a queue way after him (he was the only one queueing at that time though), swapped to a different entrance, and still made it in before him. Oh and going to a gay bar with him is also fun. (sorry Paul, but when someone rules as much as you do, they gotta be prepared for an appreciation thread at some point )
  6. Heartfelt congratulations, Kate & Graham! Welcome little Bea! And of course also congratulations to the big sister, Em
  7. You took the words right out of my mouth (apart from disagreeing on the song, for me it's "Oh my heart" that I think is really outstanding). I was having a hard time trying to put my feelings about CIN into words, but you just did it for me. I am quite sad about this though
  8. I found the Kiwi accent very disturbing at first and couldn't understand a single thing. Now, we're trying to practice it at home! Dreeeeeeeeeeeeeeedful! The pictures of Christchurch are devastating. Thinking I've been walking along these now disturbed roads not even 4 months ago in white summer trousers and flip-flops makes me well up. It is such a quaint town with lots of beautiful buildings.......or has been
  9. I think Michael Stipe isn't aging well at all. He's seriously looking a LOT older than my Dad who's turned 70 last week. Not kidding.
  10. Agreed. I wish they would just finally get rid of these so-called "harmonies" *ouch* and let Michael's voice be Michael's voice instead of this so-called "Producer" re-working his vocals beyond recognition.
  11. Happy New Year to everyone! For us it can only get worse than 2010 which was awesome on so many levels, so I am trying to go into 2011 with absolutely no illusions.
  12. Oh wow Donna! I most definitely live in the wrongest part of the whole world! I want an orange tree too PS: Pic of haircut = La Belle
  13. Right at this present moment, I am having fun looking into the mirror and seeing what the night did to my radical new haircut (which was a xmas gift I gave to myself ). I look like a wild pixie with everything standing up On Saturday & Sunday, I will be enjoying the whole of Season 6 of "Deadliest Catch", which we started watching by chance in New Zealand, and I got so hooked after only one episode that Rob bought us the whole season on DVD as soon as it came out. Oh joy!
  14. Couldn't agree more. (not about the Live record though, which I don't have and don't intend to buy either)
  15. I find it highly confusing that people use the official name of the former communist part of Germany as an abbreviation for a dancing game. But well, it's Nintendo we're talking about, so...................
  16. If you ever plan to repeat this, let me know, and we'll be there as ticket office, B&B, travel guides, whatever you need. Spaghettieis will be guaranteed
  17. Here is another article from the same newspaper, this time it's apparently the best band in the world *rolleyes*, I guess Wilco will never get the whole world behind them, no matter how fantastic they are: http://www.tagesspiegel.de/kultur/trost-und-ekstase/1944528.html
  18. Sorry about the disrupted show, Paul. So it's indeed the band that doesn't want people to take photos anymore? Hm......
  19. I hope that after this tour they'll rush back to GA venues. Can't believe how lucky we were in Offenbach! Grosse Freiheit in 2007
  20. Erm............I could, but I won't, seeing as it is persisting it down. You obviously took the sun with you
  21. California Stars I'll Fight Via Chicago Damn.
