YEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
This is indeed my finest hour (currently also listening to REM - Finest Worksong, from Document). While browsing a Dutch newsgroup on Google I saw a posting about REM coming to the Netherlands! They haven't played the Netherlands for 14 years. June 1989 they were the closing act on the Pinkpop festival and that was the last the Netherlands saw of REM. They did plan some dates on their Monster tour, but first Bill Berry suffered an aneurysm and when they continued the tour Michael Stipe got a hernia. They didn't play here during the Up tour and for a long time it seemed the closest we got to see REM was on the Werchter festival in Belgium. But now I saw that post that they're playing the Netherlands again!
Not only that, but they are playing 2 dates. One is in the Heineken Music Hall, with a capacity of about 5,000 persons. The second date is even more special, as it is in the Tivoli club (which holds about 1,000 persons). And the sales started today!
With today being a national holiday (Queen's Day) I suspect not many persons know that the sales started. So at 21:30 I was still able to buy 2 tickets for Tivoli! I'm going to see REM in a small club!!!
SOMEBODY STOP ME!!!
C ya!

P.S. That's going to be an eventful period. 21 June REM in Tivoli and 1 July Coldplay in Goffert Park, Nijmegen (still have to buy tickets for that last one though...)
