Not to be confused with the concert I saw six months later at RFK stadium when Bono dislocated his shoulder in the middle and had his arm in a sling for the encore.
I saw them a couple nights later at Foxboro! The Pogues opened for them, which was a pity because nobody paid any attention except me & the friends I was with, who knew who they were.
But still, the Pogues are simply not an arena band.
Every Bruce Springsteen concert I have ever been to.
Hah! Word, Scrappy, although I admit I miss the days when he would tell stories between the songs. And the shows are shorter than they used to be, too. Still awesome, though.
I had cereal for breakfast after going running. Now it's time for hella yard work. bah.

And don't forget the Flaubert, bah!!!
Oh, Jesse. You haven't heard about my U2 experience have you? Evil laugh!
It will have to wait for later though since I gotta get out the door.
I am in the homestretch of doing the taxes. We will actually be getting a refund this year, but only because we paid estimated taxes last year, and then I was out of work for a few months.
Bah, Flaubert!
I feel guilty, but I'd much rather be reading The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms instead.
And I'd rather be reading the Willie Mays biography Steve gave me for graduation!
But still, the Pogues are simply not an arena band.
I totally agree.
I want to hear your U2 experience, javachik! It's got to be a story.
OMG.
Bono checked me out, eyes scanned me up and down. I was very young and too paralyzed with OOST to say anything. Pity that, but it makes for a memory anyway.
I think Burrell wins for coolest concert experience! I was at the Elvis Costello concert in New York that was taped for his live album in a tiny club. It should have been the best ever, but the place was loaded with industry-types, all of whom who were in the back at the bar, talking loudly. Did I mention it was a tiny club? Elvis had to ask them to be quiet a couple of times and I was so FURIOUS at their selfishness that I could not enjoy the show.
TV show films from April 8-12 (with the weekend off). I have lost 10 lbs so far. Only need to lose, oh, 20 more in a week, that or grow four inches.
The lady who looked at my place yesterday wants to see it again tomorrow. fingers crossed that we get an offer.
That means I need to somehow get the 10 bins I brought in yesterday to be a bit more out of the way, also need to finish packing, and get mac to a 6pm birthday party. good lord.
6 pm? On a school night? Or is this Spring break for mac?

Very exciting! Also, the weight is not an issue, Scrappy. You and the DH ooze graciousness and happiness with yourselves and your lives. That's what the producers want to capture onscreen. You'll be the cool couple that everyone root for because you're nice.
