On this date in 2015, Duran Duran played the Greek Theatre on the campus of UC Berkeley. I drove to this show with Amanda and our friend Heather. We left right after the concert ended at the Hollywood Bowl the night before, and stopped at a hotel (I use that term rather loosely here) along… Continue reading Were you at the Greek Theatre at UC Berkeley in 2015?

Love’s Already History
This is the first weekend in March. It is hard to imagine that we are the third month of the year already. Looking at it a different way, it has been two months since Duran Duran played in Las Vegas, near New Year’s. That date marked the end of the Paper Gods era for me.… Continue reading Love’s Already History
I’ll See You in Some Other Lifetime
Yesterday marked the final show for Duran Duran’s Paper Gods Tour as the band finished the tour in Osaka, Japan. The Paper Gods Tour began in the fall of 2015 and carried through until September 2017. Of course, there were plenty of breaks but still. The band played quite a few shows.

Leave Her Out Now She’s Having Fun
I know that I got the lyrics wrong in the title. I did it intentionally since it is about me and I identify as a “she”. The thing is that I’m looking forward to this weekend. Heck, I look forward to every weekend. I like the break from getting up early and not having to… Continue reading Leave Her Out Now She’s Having Fun
January 2017 Katy Kafe with Nick Rhodes
Friday came with a surprise: a brand-new Katy Kafe for January 2017, complete with Nick Rhodes in the guest seat! As always, I begin my post of the highlights with a simple disclaimer: this is not going to be a complete transcript of everything said. My notes are copious but not perfect, so if you… Continue reading January 2017 Katy Kafe with Nick Rhodes
We’ll Be Singing: Duran Tours
Now that I’m off of work for winter break and officially done with all the various tasks I needed to complete for Christmas, I can start to think about the upcoming Duran shows! As we know, the band is due to play in Cancun on the 29th before moving on to the Washington DC/Maryland area… Continue reading We’ll Be Singing: Duran Tours
Some Days Are Strange to Number
Some days, some things just make me laugh. Sometimes, the laughter happens right away. Other times, there needs to be some space between the event and the giggles. Tuesday morning was one of those days… I arrived at work/school early on Tuesday. I had much to do, including copying four handouts to start a brand… Continue reading Some Days Are Strange to Number
And So Mark the Year
One year ago today, I was in Hollywood, California. More specifically than that, I was at the Hollywood Bowl. Like everyone else there that night, I was there to see Duran Duran perform to a sold out crowd at an iconic venue. This show marked the first full show that I had seen since 2012.… Continue reading And So Mark the Year
