    that was Black Rebel Motorcycle Club playing btw, very good....but obviously not on par with that moment!

    I saw them a few weeks ago.....they kinda sounded like just played on long continuous, monotonous song for 45 minutes.

    At this time a year ago, if we're going by day rather than date, we were travelling towards London on the train from the 'diff. I remember going for a meal down the road beforehand and not being able to eat much as I was too excited!

    Did you two meet in person?

    Yeah. Don introduced us at the Royal George. A bit awkward it was, but no big deal. :)

    I too was doing the same. I was trying to call in as many favours as possible and then I had that horrible sick feeling in the pit of my stomach for the next 3 days.....and then I heard there were tix on the door and I cried and cried and cried and.........



    and then Dublin was announced :D:D:D:D
    I need a coffee!

    this thread Rita... it has anniversary on it.. so thats more apt than "with tickets"
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    so this time last year i was on the train... nervous and excited at the same time.... ticket was sellotaped to my inner thigh for security.... i thought about doing a Billie Holiday with it for extra safety, but decided against that for hygene reasons.

    i now have the same excitement for the Wembley gig... :):):)

    Please, no mention of Wembley here. This is an 'Astorians-to-talk-about-The-Astoria-only' zone. :cool:

    "Wembley!" Phhh! :rolleyes:

    Nervous and excited summed my state up too.
    I knew it was gonna be good, but had no idea it was gonna be just a magical, momentous occasion. As has been said, I've seen them before a good few times, but (I truly doubt) nothing will ever beat the energy and intimacy of the Astoria! :)

    There's no-one round here who's name sounds even remotely like Dawn I'm afraid. :(
    I could be up at the crack of Kwon se Hoon though? :confused:

    Not just tights.. can be used for anything that is sheer, delicate and light (mainly fabrics though), also cobwebs.....

    Enough for your literacy lesson today..... YAY! Astoria!
