Sometimes, I can be so naive it ends up being a little embarrassing. Yesterday morning, I participated in the pre-sale for The Cosmopolitan in Vegas. I knew going in that the show was probably going in high demand, but I felt that with the DDM VIP membership, I’d have half a chance at good seats.… Continue reading Good seats, white flags and the Daily Duranie Holiday Office Party

You’ve Got That Thing That Makes Us Smile
I love the days when the blogs just write themselves. 🙂 I hopped on Twitter and Facebook this morning before preparing myself to do battle with a pre-sale a bit later. Blogging is an issue today because I’m short on time. I had no idea what I’d write about, primarily because writing about pre-sales, or… Continue reading You’ve Got That Thing That Makes Us Smile
The First World Problem of Front Row
So the pre-sale for Vegas is tomorrow. Amanda and I, along with our touring buddies, have a plan. The general plan is simple: get tickets. Let’s be honest here, shall we? I mean, I’ve already admitted I’m an addict—so really, there’s no holding back now. Why bother? I’d love front row. Who wouldn’t? There isn’t… Continue reading The First World Problem of Front Row
My Name is Rhonda, and I am an addict.
My name is Rhonda, and I am an addict. On Tuesday I ran across a rumor. You may have heard or seen it yourself, although I didn’t see many people talking about it. Apparently word was out that Duran had plans to play at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas on December 30th. Like many… Continue reading My Name is Rhonda, and I am an addict.
The Art of Being Impatient
I am a fairly impatient person, by just about any standards. My children, sibling, and parents, in particular, are well-aware of this character flaw. I can remember my dad looking at me and calmly saying “patience, Rhonda” when I was young. Those memories make me smile because I would never use the word “patient” to… Continue reading The Art of Being Impatient
Before We Write the End: New Territory
Today, I am charting new territory. It is the first full day I’m here at home with only one child. I won’t lie, there have been various moments over the years that I’ve fantasized about how it would be with just one. I’m somewhat embarrassed to admit that it has been 19 years since I… Continue reading Before We Write the End: New Territory
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. As I looked… Continue reading I’ll See You in Some Other Lifetime
Makes Me Curious
Did you listen to the Katy Kafe this week featuring Roger Taylor? I did and blogged about it on Friday. Sometimes, a word, a sentence or a detail from those Kafes stick with me. That is the case with this one, which is funny because it wasn’t very long or did not feature a ton… Continue reading Makes Me Curious
Sets You on a Path
Do you think you are always aware of turning points in your life? I think there are some days that are significant enough that you know that they are a big deal. Then, there are days that you look back and recognize them as essential to determining your path, after the fact. For me, I… Continue reading Sets You on a Path
August 2017 Katy Kafe with Simon!
I took some time this morning to listen to the August 2017 Katy Kafe with Simon. It was a very different sort of Kafe from any other I’ve listened to over the years in some respects, and I would encourage any other Duranie to take a listen. If you really want to know who Simon… Continue reading August 2017 Katy Kafe with Simon!
