Hi everyone! I need to thank Jason profusely for his expert handling of my blogging days during my absence. He did an outstanding job, and I am very grateful. Have fun in Chicago with the Cowboy Junkies, Jason! It’ll be alright in the end I wish I could say my life is all back to… Continue reading We’ve Come This Far

Coming Out of My Cage
(yes, I know that’s a line from The Killers’ “Mr. Brightside”. It fit, and I’m in a hurry. Sorry!!) This is going to need to be a super quick post, because I’m chin-deep in tasks that must be accomplished before I am allowed out of my cage tomorrow. Alright, I’m kidding about the cage –… Continue reading Coming Out of My Cage
Built on Hope and Burnt by the Sun
I had hoped that the summer would bring me more time to be involved and to be thinking about any and everything in Duranland. The last couple of weeks have definitely fulfilled that goal. There has been a lot more thinking, writing, discussing Duran, for sure. Interestingly enough, it has made me question some things… Continue reading Built on Hope and Burnt by the Sun
Still They Come…to Vegas for Some Meet Ups
Got any plans on September 7th and September 8th? If you look at Duran Duran tour dates, you will notice that there are a couple of shows for those very dates in Las Vegas. The band is once again playing at the Chelsea in the Cosmopolitan and your favorite (okay…that was an exaggeration) bloggers will… Continue reading Still They Come…to Vegas for Some Meet Ups
What a Difference a Week Could Make
Last Sunday was Mother’s Day and I spent a good part of it with my parents and my niece. We went out to eat and played some games. Sounds nice, doesn’t it? Unfortunately, I was distracted and frustrated for much of it. Earlier that morning, I received a little email from DuranDuranMusic informing me that… Continue reading What a Difference a Week Could Make
You Own the Money
When the clock struck ten and I was able to get onto Ticketmaster (I was buying for Sunday night in Vegas first), it was weird. Nothing came up as available, and I mean nothing. I was perplexed, a little annoyed, but oddly calm. I refreshed the best seats option a few times, and suddenly – seats started coming up.
Standing On A Roof Up Here
I suppose that I’m reminding myself that the best part of being involved in a fan community is in fact the “community” part. Meeting new people, making new friends, learning new things. That is what makes life so wonderful and rich. In turn, if I can remind someone else of that before going into what can sometimes be a crazed, fan-frenzied environment, so be it.
I’ve Been Fighting All the Way
In a month, I’ll be in Las Vegas. I can’t decide if I’m ready as-is, or if I should immediately resort to a month-long fasting exercise.
I Try to Hold the Rising Floods
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a little blog about how I am concerned that my fandom might be dying. In this blog, I explained how I wasn’t falling out of love with Duran Duran. No, I fully expect that I will always be a fan but I wondered if I was on my… Continue reading I Try to Hold the Rising Floods
As the Planet Turns Into the Light
I had a good day yesterday. Before I dive into that statement, I want to acknowledge that I am lucky to live in the US. While I know why the band plays here, I can’t help but feel badly for the rest of the fans throughout the world. One can reasonably understand why things are… Continue reading As the Planet Turns Into the Light
