Thought of you when I heard about it.

that is a sad sad thing to relate to me like why not fuzzy animals or muffins or something!!

Only because I know you live in VA!

I associate you with Depeche Mode and football/soccer much more strongly.

oh goody. <3 Actually it sounds like DM is working on a new record so I'm hoping they'll come back to NoVa by next year. They do fantastic concerts.

I saw them at Key Arena in Seattle in 2009 for SOTU and it was the best concert I've ever been to, despite Dave having strained vocal cords or whatever. I was so mad they didn't play in Seattle for Delta Machine. Now that I have more money I'll go to them wherever they go.

They always come to Bristow which is really nice because the tickets are kept cheaper (bc outside! giant lawn!!) annnd it bypasses all the BS of downtown DC. So mad that Echo and the Bunnymen are coming close enough in the middle of September in downtown DC because it makes it unpossible for me to go.

But I really really appreciate that you can be super-far from the stage and still have SOMETHING to see. Those huge screens they use are a godsend.
