Nope! For those who are sick of it, they can just get the hell out.

They did the same thing in Chicago. It kicked ass.

I'd forget my own head in the morning if it weren't for making lists.

In other news, I'm getting soooooo excited for the concert tonight. A nice cool evening on the mountain, sitting on a blanket and having maybe a drinky or two with some of my friends, Howie Day opening and then DMB themselves...

Next time you're here you need to check out a concert on the mountain. Hopefully there'll be some good acts. It really is, as my dad attested, a great venue.

I love the smiley.


I also love the smiley.

even the best fall down sometimes
even the wrong words seem to rhyme
out of the doubt that fills my mind
I finally find...you and I collide
--"Collide" Howie Day

That's been a minor hit here, so I'm sure he'll play it tonight.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Alright, kids, I'm off to enjoy the nice weather and take a walk on my lunch break.

**Runs in**

R.E.M.-hotel located!

I think! But civil police cars is usually a good sign!

It's 'The Atlantic' - same place as Donald Rumsfeld stayed!


The entire city centre is covered in "R.E.M. - Sold out!" posters! ... and for some strange reason *ahem* one of those posters ended up in my shopping bag - wonder how that happend...

**Runs out in the kitchen**

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Just got back from the walk! Man, it's gorgeous out there.

I hope you have a great time tonight, Abby.

Good luck in the pursuit of REM, Dorthe!
