Anyone in the U.S heading down for this show?

I was summarily told to keep on dreaming. I don't see how it would be impossible. . .
didn't billy recently comment about not wanting to disappear for years, but instead keep making new music and touring smaller venues that will cost more. . .?
That to me implies he will be doing this in the US. . .
But- if Costa Rica is as close as they will get to US for this summer- I'm going to have to go down there.

Is that Abe Laboriel Jr. on drums for the Police? When did that happen?

Duran Duran plus Incubus plus SP?
I saw Incubus play right before the Pumpkins at a festival, and that was weird enough. But Duran Duran? Jesus.

Well, considering the types of t-shirts they have been selling...let's just say that the fan-made shirts look well "competitive."

Terrible. How long ago was 1995?

aldango · 03-18-2008, 10:29 AM

Dunno what the deal is with tshirts. When I went to see Radiohead in '03 there were a ton of fans who drove up from Mexico that had made shirts for the show.

Weird. Fun though, if you're into that kind of thing.
