Great venue - have a soft spot for it since Jonathan Richman visited :dancing No other details. Just spotted via some idle venue checking and although I did think twice about not posting until I had bought a ticket (no idea when they might be available), altruism won out (though I might have to resort to violence if I don't get a pew near the front). Nice bit of news on a slow day. I just checked the Wilco tour schedule and it does seem to be stuck on its own - not even grouped amongst one of the existing European visits. Wonder why - in town for album launch promo interviews? Who knows. (Riddle me this!) Just alot of air miles being gathered this year. Keep planting the trees JT.

 

P.S. Top tip: bring a cushion (non-whoopee). Those pews are hard.

 

Dick Grayson: What's so important about Chopin?

Bruce Wayne: All music is important, Dick. It's the universal language. One of our best hopes for the eventual realization of the brotherhood of man.

Dick Grayson: Gosh Bruce, yes, you're right. I'll practice harder from now on.

Dr. Cassandra: You'd better watch out. I've got your number, Batman.

[batgirl appears]

Batgirl: What about me? Do you have my number too?

Dr. Cassandra: Other women's numbers don't interest me, Batgirl.

Batman: Glad to have you flanking us, Batgirl

Batgirl: I wouldn't miss it for anything!

[Robin looks at Batgirl.]

Robin: You know something, Batman?

Batman: What's that, Robin?

Robin: She looks very pretty when she's asleep.

Batman: I thought you might eventually notice that. That single statement indicates to me the first oncoming thrust of manhood, old chum.

King Tut: [to Nefertiti] How many times must I tell you?! Queens consume nectar and ambrosia, not hot dogs!

Robin: Boy! That was our closest call ever! I have to admit that I was pretty scared!

Batman: I wasn't scared in the least.

Robin: Not at all?

Batman: Haven't you noticed how we always escape the vicious ensnarements of our enemies?

Robin: Yeah, because we're smarter than they are!

Batman: I like to think it's because our hearts are pure.

A six hour round trip in the Bat-Mobile but well worth it.

I see - trouble with the BatCopter eh?

Batman: Better put 5 cents in the meter.

Robin: No policeman's going to give the Batmobile a ticket.

Batman: This money goes to building better roads. We all must do our part.

Its the parking for BatCopter's that put me off going down that route! Its quite a built up area and plenty of listed buildings etc. I supposed I could park it at the Emirate's Stadium and walk from there!

I wouldn't recommend taking anything that size up the Arsenal.

Olga: [to Egghead] You are a heartless, hairless man. I am liking you more and more.

Well as a longsuffering Spurs fan (since 1981)I think taking my own chopper up the arsenal is proably not a good idea. Would be quite impressive though.

Sounds like you're buggered.

Batman: Ma Parker's girl is more dangerous than her three boys.

Robin: Her legs sort of reminded me of Catwoman's.

Batman: You're growing up, Robin. Remember, in crime-fighting always keep your sights raised.

I'll be hanging out with Batgirl backstage. [insert pawing noise here] :thumbup :cheers

 

You will be on a trip from Gotham City Paul? And BatGirl/CatWoman - who cares? :lol

Robin: [After Catwoman has just tried, unsuccessfully, to lure Batman with her feminine charms] Good job that love stuff doesn't work on me - I'm way too young for that sort of thing!

Catwoman: Batman, you saved my life!

Batman: It was the least I could do.

Catwoman: How can I ever combat you again after all you've done for me?

Batman: Let's hope it never comes to that, Catwoman, because, in the end, veracity and rectitude always triumph.

Catwoman: Batman...are you spoken for?

Batman: Huh?

Catwoman: Married, engaged, or going steady?

Batman: My crime fighting leaves me little time for social engagements.

Catwoman: Boy...have I got a girl for you!

Here we go. Batman is gone. I think he has some story with Robin. He let him protect the london people, but Robin is too busy with batgirl and catwoman. Somebody see them in the same bed. Something dirty.

 

So now i need your help. I'm a poor and lonesome frenchy who came alone to london to see his musician-god. But london is too dangerous. I need someone to help me in the city (why not a visite):cheekkiss . Or just someone to drink with after the show. And why not a Wilco party :cheers in London so we can protect ourself from the joker and other boy called lonelyness. :hmm

For the protection of some other french who can go together through the channel, and if someone sleep in an hotel or somewhere not too expensive i'm very interested. Or whatever. Please don't let a poor french alone without defense. Together we can go through this.

"Holy Toledo" indeed, as JT goes to Spain for some solo shows too. Hence solving the riddle of the lone UK show in the middle of nothing else Wilco-related.

 

Jul-03 Moli De Mar (Barcelona), Faraday Festival

Jul-05 Tenerife, Tenerife Auditorium

Jul-10 Bilbao, Bilbao BBK Live

 

Good that he's allowed a few days to get there after London. What with the Icelandic volcano situation being off and on, a ferry to Santander might be the best option.

 

This might come in handy down there, apparently:-

 

Batman is El Murcielago

Bruce Wayne is Bruno Diaz

Dick Grayson is Ricardo Tapia

The Joker is El Guason

Catwoman is Gatubela :monkey

Batgirl is Batichica :D

Gordon is Fierro

The Riddler is El Acertijo

Mr Freeze is Capitan Frio

Poison Ivy is Hiedra Venenosa

The Penguin is El Pinguino

EggHead is Cabeza de Huevo

 

Also in Spanish news:-

 

"Extremadura should be pleased with itself"

 

And so for those trying at home:-

Strange synchronicity: JT books a Joker in support:-

 

Patrick Monahan

 

As well as a regular TV & studio warm up - on shows such as 'Friday Night Jonathan Ross', 'The IT Crowd', 'The Lenny Henry Show', 'Davina', 'Open House with Gloria Hunerford', as well as a regular MC at selected venues on the comedy circuit.

 

Maybe JT will have to up his game in the banter stakes.

 

Even stranger synchornicity:-

 

Question: What's track 4 on the soundtrack to 1966's Batman movie?

Answer: "Roger Wilco"
