Anyone up for this?

Mrs VG has given me dispensation to go. Without the kids.

[sulky lad]

Mrs Sulky has been predicting that this would be a VG/SL jaunt so I'm up for a European invasion !

[verbal gymnastics]

I know BWAP is also interested.

Tickets are on sale on Saturday but I'm not predicting a rush.

[krm]

I am definately interested, but...... Holland in november seems as cold as sweden. Spain or Italy would be my preference if possible. I will wait a bit and see if more dates will be added......
See him, I´m gonna!

[verbal gymnastics]

It's not about the show, it's about the people that are going!

[verbal gymnastics]

I've booked 3 general admission tickets through www.ticketmaster.nl for me, sulky and BWAP.

Anyone else booked?

Excellent! It'll be good to see you again, no doubt loitering around the stage door...

[sweetest punch]

The concert is sold out.

[verbal gymnastics]

I booked my tickets on Saturday and they arrived in the UK today. Impressive.

[Boy With A Problem]

Cashed in a few Delta miles + $58 and have a roundtrip ticket Boston-Amsterdam (direct no less!)......now to find a place to stay.........

[verbal gymnastics]

PM'd you with where sulky lad and I are staying.

If you'd replied to my emails we'd have sorted you out a room as well!

By the way, with the exchange rate being the way it is, you owe me much more money for the ticket now

[bronxapostle]

[Otis Westinghouse]

Suspense is killing me/us!

[johnfoyle]

A short text from Verbal says it was 'fantastic'. He/they will tell all later , except to add that the setlist included ' Suffering Face' and a live debut for 'I Turn Around'.

[Otis Westinghouse]

Relief! Didn't sleep much last night...

I reckon he saw those two suspects there and on the spot decided to give them two rarities from the vaults. I can't remember I Turn Around at all, will have to revisit.

[Yanyna]

wow, "I Turn Around"...one of my favourites...hope there will be a record...looking forward to the setlist
