    lets see here. Starting off the summer with Sasquatch at the Gorge, Lake Chelan probably, Hiking Mt. Rainer again, or maybe the North Cascades, Oasis, Bumbershoot, and the best way to end summer, BRUSSELS! and India (not too happy about this...). I'm looking forward to the fall though, Brussels, Oktober Fest, Paris, and London. god I love my life......
    Don't let the world bring you down, not everyone here is that fucked up and cold. Remember why you came and while you're alive, experience the warmth before you grow old.

    Best two days of my life: Oasis at MSG and Pearl Jam at the Gorge.

    Awww :o thank you! I am doing my best... have the tickets and accommodation sorted out... flights look reasonable... now when the fuck do I get the boss in a good mood? :eek:

    So yeh, I've that planned... a hen party in nottingham in May, Bruce in Cardiff on 14th June, a wedding in kidderminster (no not mine :p ) on 20th June, fly to NY either 22nd or 23rd June. Then in July we've the cottage in Devon booked for a week :eek:

    I know there's something I'm forgetting too... ooh yeh, Oktoberfest!

    see, i'm similar to that... Next weekend i'm in Lincoln, then I got a Down gig in Birmingham on wednesday, the following tuesday i'm in Dublin to see Down again. A Cat Power gig in June, THAT *points to Helen's holiday cottage* in July, I have my brothers wedding in Yorkshire wkend 8th August then hopefully in London on the 9th. THEN I have R.E.M. on 30th August in Twickenham, a couple of hen nights, birthdays and celebrations scattered across the country in the Autumnal months as well as a few more comedy and music gigs, then ANOTHER wedding in November... somewhere inbetween that lot i'm hoping to book a holiday to Italy and go to Leicester for the weekend... :eek: :o

    only difference is... none of mine includes Pearl Jam *sniff* (not for lack of trying...)

    Oh, we're going to that. Only got tickets a month or so ago so we've got shit seats, way up in the top but it should be a real cool show.

    Then two days later we fly to Las Vegas for 4 nights, on to San Francisco for 3 nights and then back across to New York for 3 nights, the last two taking in the MSG shows.

    It's going to be legendary!
