If we can figure out transportation back to MIL's, Paul says we can go to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra's Chr-stmas Show in Madison Square Garden Monday night!! I still don't have tickets, so my seats will suck, but I am really looking forward to going. I don't think they ever come anywhere near Gator Town.

Julie tries each year to get me to a presentation of the Nutcracker. never happens, so I'm not promising. we did go to a Christmas pageant at the North Baptist Church. enjoyable.

David Gilmour is planning to release a solo album in March 2006.
Maybe a tour will follow-up?

(Found out Blue Oyster Cult played, unannounced,
last weekend here in the Tampa area.
I wonder why there were no advertising for the show???)

Just watched "Island Jam" video and the instrumental sounds great!
Kind of a blues tune.
Has Guy Pratt playing too, who played with Pink Floyd on "Momentary Lapse Of Reason" tour.

I get the email about David and his website is new.
I looked at the tickets and they are about $100.00 each for the Chicago show. But, I am just kidding myself. We could not afford to fly up there, pay for the hotel/food/transportation and the tickets and still manage to meet our monthly bills.

Sucks to be me....

And I love David Gilmour...

walks away crying...

I've just ordered day tickets to the Saturday at V-festival this year.

I'm finally going to see Radiohead

Julie and I went to see George Strait at the rodeo last night. he was great. (we saw him a couple of years back) played a good mix of older and newer songs. big surprise was his Texas swing cover of "Folsom Prison Blues" great show, George gives you your money's worth.

Well, it might have taken me seven hours of continous refreshing, and only leaving my seat once for a toilet break.

But!

I've now booked tickets to two Radiohead shows on their forthcoming theatre tour in May. One standing and one seating.

I am SO bleeding happy. I'm also about to collapse.

Edit:

I bought another one

Oops... and another. But now they're all gone, save for eBay sellers.

When I saw Biffy I found them really long-winded. Their set went on for hours, and seemed longer. Ah well.

I'm fidgeting with anticipation for the long-awaited TOOL
