I'm excited for a couple of reasons.

[Maestro]

Mr. and Mrs. Maestro are actually going out tomorrow night. We don't get to do this often and the fact that it is on a Sunday is going to mean that Monday is pure hell. But I don't care. A co-worker and I bought tickets to go see the Pet Shop Boys. Man, this brings back some clubbing memories. He's taking his S.O. and I am taking my wife.

So here is to the Pet Shop Boys and their anti-* song I'm With Stupid. I can't wait to hear it live!

1. Very Cool!

The Pet Shop Boys are a blast from the past!!

[Maestro]

6. They sure are!

But they have been making some good music all through the nineties and 2000s. They just don't get the airplay except on satellite radio.

2. My dear Maestro!

Wow, what a fantastic time you will have!

These opportunities don't come along too often, so do make the most of tomorrow!

:woohoo: :woohoo:

[Maestro]

5. I sure will.

And I will try to post some concert pics.

3. Have fun...

Please give us a full report, including how you like the Nokia Theatre, when you recover...ok?

:hi:

[Maestro]

4. I can already tell you that Nokia is pretty nice.

I've been there four other times with my kids watching The Wiggles in concert and Dora the Explorer as well. That is why I am so excited to be doing something adult! :rofl:

7. Have a great time.

It brings back clubbing memories. Like your headstone. :D

[Maestro]

9. Thanks.

I will sure try to have a good time. It won't be hard.

[The Brethren]

12. Yes

I bet you worked very hard at it. LOL

"I've had enough of scheming and messing around with jerks
My car is parked outside, I'm afraid it doesn't work
I'm looking for a partner, someone who gets things fixed
Ask yourself this question: Do you want to be rich?"

8. Neato!

Have a great time!!

[Maestro]

10. I will

However, I have been dragging today. I'm not sure why. It is just one of those days. I'll have to psyche myself up later. I think I will go for a jog or bike ride. I need to get my blood moving.

11. This monday happens to be

the day before "United Nations Day" so I think you should take it as a holiday.

[Maestro]

13. The concert was much better than expected.

It was pure electronica bliss with a nice minimalistic theatrical stage presentation, great sound thanks to the theater's acoustics, a festive crowd and all around a very upbeat night. PSB played most of their songs from the new album plus a good mix of oldies. The anti-* rant I'm with Stupid was very nicely done with great graphics flashing behind them of * and Blair. They ended the night with It's a Sin and Go West which according to my gay buddy who was with us became sort of an anthem in the gay clubs several years back. What was really nice were the back-up singers. Man, they had pipes! He was two men and a woman who could armonize incredibly well. It was very impressive. There were some freestyle dancers that did everything from ballet to break dancing.

If you get a chance, check PSB out, you will not be disappointed.

14. Glad you had fun...

...ballet, huh? Sounds interesting.

[Maestro]

17. It was interesting to say the least.

Nokia is a nice "intimate" venue. When I was a kid, all the concerts were so big. The bands either played Reunion Arena with 16,000 seats available for concerts at the time or the friggin' Cotton Bowl for big all day "Jams." Occasionally a band would play the Bronco Bowl in Oak Cliff. That is where I caught The Alarm in the late 80s. It seated maybe 1,500. I'm not sure.

15. Glad you had fun!

Once in awhile I have my 80's music mood, and PSB are usually played. Really takes me back to the days...:hi:

[Maestro]

16. You need to check out some of their later material.

They really haven't stopped putting out quality synth-pop since the 80s. Now I want to catch Depeche Mode again next time they are in time as well as New Order and The Cure.

[u4ic]

19. Will do!

Depeche Mode was another 80's band I used to love...

[YDogg]

18. Doh! I thought that was a picture of Mr. and Mrs. Maestro.

:shrug:

[Maestro]

20. Not quite

She's much better looking but I'm debateable. ;)
