During this summer, I have been updating my LinkedIn profile, which is about as fun as it sounds. There is a variety of reasons for this, including adding some campaign management roles I have held in the last couple of years. Of course, there is an acknowledgement of this blog on there as well. That… Continue reading I’m Lost in a Crowd

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

Don’t They Understand
I don’t really hide my fandom much. My family and friends all know that I’m a Duranie. Heck, a number of my students even know that I’m a big fan. My wallpaper on my work computer is a group picture, after all. Recently, I found myself out with friends, many of them work friends. It… Continue reading Don’t They Understand
You’ve Got That Thing Which Makes Them Smile
To say that I have not yet recovered from my trip to Vegas would be an understatement. I feel like I haven’t slept in a decade and I’m struggling to get going. My to do list is long and I am cannot get motivated no matter what I do. I’m crossing my fingers, hoping that… Continue reading You’ve Got That Thing Which Makes Them Smile

So Today My World It Smiles – Thank You for Donating!
Happy Tuesday! Duran Duran fans have been called “overwhelming”, “crazy”, “insane”, and “overzealous”. People like to call us “stalkers”, and we’ve all heard at least once that we should have grown up by now. People look at Amanda and I with incredulous looks when we discuss our joy for writing this blog. Even people within… Continue reading So Today My World It Smiles – Thank You for Donating!
It’s the learning of this journey: Fan Events
Hi everybody!! I’m writing to you this morning from a lovely hotel room in Kalamazoo Michigan. We stopped here last night on our way to Detroit for the show tonight. Leaving Chicago was kind of sad—it is one of my favorite cities, and it is also where my sister lives. I took one last parting… Continue reading It’s the learning of this journey: Fan Events
It’s Beginning…
…to look a lot like Christmas. No, wait. That isn’t right. It isn’t December. There is not snow on the ground or a definite chill in the air. No, in fact, it is hot and sunny. The days are long. I’m not even getting up early in the morning so if it isn’t the Christmas… Continue reading It’s Beginning…
The Future Is Still Tomorrow
The future is, indeed, still tomorrow. Yet, that doesn’t stop me and my partner-in-crime from thinking about the future and to dream big. After all, dreams are free or so we have heard. 😉 Yesterday, I encouraged every Duran fan out there to embrace the current status of Duran Duran, musically, and activity wise. This… Continue reading The Future Is Still Tomorrow
