Sorry for missing a few days here, but I was at the Whisky show on Monday and am just getting back to reality now!

OMG you lucky thing! How did you get in? Did they have tickets? How exciting is this?! Tell me about the Whiskey!

I'm freaking out... just got my Toronto tickets (both nights!)... somebody pinch me.

It was truly awesome...one of the best days of my life! I managed to win one of the giveaway tickets and flew cross country to be there.

Never had the chance to see the whole band together before, and I'm sure I'll never get the chance to see them in such an intimate venue again, so...it was totally worth it. Even standing in line from 7am that morning to make sure I could get a spot near the front of the stage.

OMG, that's so fabulous! I completely understand - I was too young to catch them in concert way back when, although I spent pretty much all of my youth/teenage years obsessed with them. I satisfied myself by seeing Sting many times (in concert, not to meet... God, now there's a dream), and now, I'm still in shock that they're back. Just yesterday, after sitting at my computer, refreshing Ticketmaster for DAYS, non-stop, I got tickets to both Toronto shows!!! I don't know how I'm going to contain myself til July.

May I ask, are you in Toronto? I'm about an hour outside, in the town of Dundas. Did you get tickets? I hope you did! Did you take pictures at the Whiskey? Were you allowed? Can I see? lol Sorry for all the questions, but this is just... so exciting!!!

I've spent the past few weeks in a complete haze of disbelief. It's really hard to believe this is happening after all of this time. I didn't become a fan until around 85-86, too late to ever get to see them together as a band. I've seen Andy many times and Stewart a few (met both once as well...more great stories there). Love them all.

I'm actually in Philly, myself. So far I have tickets to the two MSG shows and one Fenway show, am trying for Giants Stadium tomorrow and hoping for Baltimore/Philly area performances to be announced soon. I know it's a little nuts to be going to so many shows, but how many more chances are we ever going to get to see these guys together?

Cameras weren't allowed inside the Whisky, but I was one of the fans that was interviewed for TV a number of times and you can see me in all my headbanging glory on the VH1 broadcast...

Last year I met him at a book signing for One Train Later in NYC. Didn't get to talk *too* long, just for a minute or so (didn't want to hold up the line forever :D) He was super-nice; I said at the time I was hoping he'd be doing some more club/jazz shows this year since I'd last seen him at Birdland in...2005, I think, and Carnegie Hall earlier that year, and he was like, yeah, really want to play some more shows again (little did WE know, ha ha ha...)

Oh, and I'd also brushed against him (like, literally) in LA last April for the Everyone Stares screening at the Arclight, but that was in the middle of an insane crowd. Walking to the door I just turned to my side and looked down (LOL) and saw Andy standing right next to me! I got an autograph quickly and the most amusing thing was he then got swarmed with people and made off with my sharpie.

*Sighs You are so lucky.
I have his book "One train Later" too. I think,I have read it like 100 times. It's great.


By the way-will you go to the Police concert?

:: deep breath ::

Dallas 6/26
Philadelphia 7/19
New York City 8/1 & 8/3
New Jersey 8/5

Dallas is the only one I'm traveling long-distance for (because a bunch of friends all want to meet up there). The rest are all driveable from where I live, so...I just couldn't help myself. My bank account is weeping.
