Hello all. I'm new to board but am a longtime fan. Probably since "Head on the Door" & some singles before that even. I was in the music industry in Seattle for 25+ years, working in distribution. I got to be at ground zero during the infamous grunge years. Lot of stories & memories. Nirvana, PJ, etc. in very small venues, etc. Since the biz went kaput, I've landed at a certain multi-national aerospace corporate Satan. I'm a ghost in the machine there. I view it as my penance for having a job I liked for so long. Thankful to have a good paying job & especially good insurance.
I've seen literally hundreds of shows & bands. The 1 that has eluded me is the Cure. It's my bucket list band that is still functioning. I'm going to Vegas for the Chelsea show & am very excited indeed! i got my ticket from a broker in February & am glad I acted when I did. The Chelsea is a very small venue for the Cure & am hoping we get a special show. It's going to be a good music week for me as I'm seeing the Who on Sunday, 5/15 in Seattle then taking a few days of staycation before leaving for Vegas on Wednesday. Hope to meet some other fans down there. Also, really excited to see Reeves Gabrels play with the band. I saw him with David Bowie several times & he is a phenomenal guitar player. I'm really hoping we get a nice Bowie cover in the set. Don't think its at all out of the question. That & a full album performance of "Disintegration". Haha. Anything will be fine.
