Is The Tonight Show still next door to where they tape Days of Our Lives? Somebody needs to go over and get me Dr. Marlena Evans' autograph!!

I hope everybody has fun at that show!!

Cureheart said...

Maggie and Laura! Laura flew in from Italy...no joke.

altr2elise said...

Looking forward to the COF chat tomorrow (in my world)

KelBel said...

Kate said...

How exciting to see everyone! Have a great time!!

Morris said...

post up the lucky ones!

swifty said...

Like meatloaf through a straw, so are The Daze of our Cure Lives!

WTF Dr Marlena Evans is STILL on the show?... And have they caught the Salem Strangler yet? I think it might be Jake Kositchek!

Cureheart said...

I see Maggie, Laura, Andy Cure Fan, Xploding Boy and his girlfriend

April said...

Oh Cool the Mini Cure TV Show Tour has started! Luv to be there!

Have FUN to all of the Lucky Cure Peeps who will be seeing the Cure in the upcoming days! ENJOY!!! :)

Dumb Anguish said...

I saw on the preview guide that Tom Cruise was going to be the guest tonight.

If Robert Smith comes away with a devotion to Scientology, I'm really going to be disappointed.

swifty said...

Would it be a gross understatement to say that for these 11 beaming Cure fandorks LIFE IS PRETTY FUCKING ROSY, RIGHT AT THIS POINT IN TIME

altr2elise said...

OMG!!!!! One of my fave songs from 4:13 Dream

Cureheart said...

Dumb Anguish -

If anything, Tom would just have to be in Robert's presence to realize he is actually fucking insane. His Smithra powers would be too much for him.

MissCure said...

Awesome Awesome Awesome!!!!
It was wonderful!!!

Marc Gruninger said...

It was nice to see Tom Cruise interact with the band..He had a chat with Robert, and also Porl..I wonder what they talked about..I also had the feeling they really respected each other in an artist kinda way..

Anyways. performance was very fine I gotta say..

Dumb Anguish said...

Cureheart,

Maybe Tom Cruise will start jumping down on the couch saying how much he loves The Cure.

And Robert will look at him all cock-eyed and say, "Uh...Thanks". You know that's how Robert would react. :)

cure_kitty said...

Oh that a great choice but why only one song & no interview? What's up with that Jay???

And we have to watch goofy Tom Cruise chat away about nonsense just to see the Cure since I'm assuming they will be on last? Oh well I'll suffer through it, anything for The Cure!

cure_kitty said...

Show's on the East Coast now. I'm trying to find some Cure Peeps in the audience!

Cureheart said...

Dumb Anguish - I just giggled because I can visualize that.

I wish Jay Leno was starting at 10:00 THIS year instead of next.

swifty said...

MissCure - Will you be attending all 5 events? ie Leno, Carson, Curse, KROQ and Kimmel. I bow down in your SHADOW OF GREATNESS if this is indeed the case.

sofia said...

nothing i like to see more than a bunch of happy latinos! ;)



god leno is such a tool. glad everyone had a good time!

J. said...

pumpcasting... way more interesting than the cure...

dj scribbles said...

its more than 2 hours till they air in west coast. *sigh*

so when do they show the cure playing? towards the end of the show?

i heard sugar was in 4th tonight, right in front of robert! <3

cure_kitty said...

Hey DJ almost always they show the musical act last. So you'll have to suffer through all the BS. Jay not being funny and douche bag Tom Cruise! YUCK!!!!!

And now he's doing an fucking Elvis Impersonation right now! Get the Fuck off! Just put the Cure on!!!

Anah said...

Tom Cruise is such a dork. What the hell. Was he just singing?

cure_kitty said...

Anah he was a little bit but thankfully not much.

About 15 more minutes left till they show The Cure I think. Leno only an hour right???

Anah said...

Yes, only an hour. What I find funny is the amount of male sexual enhancement commercials that are airing during this show! Good Gawd!

Anah said...

Didn't that guy get fired from Mad TV? He really isn't funny. All he does are impersonations, and they aren't even good. They could have used that time for The Cure...

ashtraygirl said...

My love for the Cure must be boundless to watch a whole episode of the Tonight Show.


Sullen, is that you in the pic on the far right? If so, hi from your neighbor at the Camden Curiosa show! :)

cure_kitty said...

Yeah I took notice to that too!!! What is up with that. Maybe Jay uses it???

And now there is this unfunny guy on Frank Caliendo! HE'S NOT FUNNY!!! What we have to go through to see The Cure!!!

DJ--Just watch the last 10 minutes of the show, they are on last, so save yourself 50ish minutes of utter nonsense!

cure_kitty said...

Anah---I don't know if he was fired but I can see if he was. He sucks & is unfunny!

Almost time for The Cure now! Finally! YEAH!!!!

Anah said...

They Sound and Look soooo Good!

Anah said...

PS: What is that painting? And Si's hot rockabilly cut and sideburns, Porl's heels... *Sigh*

sofia said...

love that japanese background theyre using!

sofia said...

they sounded great! robert was looking adorable...
wish i were there, too!!!!

Anah said...

Isn't that a classic Japanese painting? The one with the mask?

B Guz said...

Wow - the Cure sounded absolutely EXCELLENT. Period. I was not excited that they were playing The Perfect Boy - but it was fanTAStic! Way to go gents.

cure_kitty said...

Oh that was so worth it! They sounded Awesome & looked so fucking good! Robert so damn cute, Simon so sexy and Porl too! Jason Rocked!!! They all Rocked! Damn I wish I could have went to LA for all this Cure Stuff!

And I hope someone recorded their performance tonight. I totally forgot to set-up my DVD!! And it was over so fast & I want to savor it for many more times!!! It was so Great! Ah I love all this Cure Magic! I miss it and it's nice to have it back again even if only for a few short shows.

Glad to the Cure peeps cheering in the audience, sounds like you had a Excellent Time!!!

HappyEverAfterGirl said...

The boys looked and sounded great!

cure_kitty said...

Anah--I think it is a famous painting but I'm not sure. I've seen it before & I liked that they used that as the backdrop. For some reason Japanese image & The Cure always look good together.

Helsabot said...

sofia said...
"they sounded great! robert was looking adorable..."

It sounded a little more quiet than what I'm used to, other than that it was flawless.
And why oh why does Robert have to be so charmingly lovable and cuddly? WHY?!!! :,-(

cure_kitty said...

Helsa--He just is so freaking cuddly! I loved how he looked tonight!

Oh well off to sleep now! Good night & have sweet Cure Dreams Cure Peeps!

beachy said...

Fantabulous way to start the off the cure cali bloc for the next 6 days. :) That was so cute how Robert almost panicked when he sang "obvious" instead of "innocent"...but he managed to salvage that and give a really great performance of the song. Nice job gentlemen! Onwards to Sunday and the live webcast.

Cureheart said...

Tomorrow Carson. Meeting peeps tomorrow morning (they need showers!!) Tix for KROQ are now completely out-of-control. Very lucky to score one. Hopefully, everyone trying to go was able to get one. Otherwise, some people are off the xmas gift list!

shawn-w said...

Personally, I thought that Tom Cruise was pretty amusing tonight, and I'm looking forward seeing his film Valkyrie. Frank Caliendo was somewhat less amusing, but I thought his impressions were spot on. Leno himself was also on his game.

As for The Cure, I thought that was an outstanding rendition of The Perfect Boy.

Congratulations to everyone who was able to attend the show.

Crazythingshappen... said...

AHH!! I just watched it! It was brilliant! WHooT! First time posting!

Aaron said...

get it onlineeeeeeeee

Cureheart said...

They didn't even mention Cure on the promos for Jay coming up. Arses. I really would like to see Cure head back and do David Letterman and SNL.

caterpillargirl2 said...

Hi everyone!

I watched last night. I was sooo tired but I took a little cat nap and then woke up just before they were on.

It was wonderful and I thought they sounded great! Robert was right on with the vocals and I loved watched Porl dance in his glam shoes too!

I looked for sugar girl...but didn't see her. I'm sure she had a blast!

Clockwise Cat said...

Here in LA - not much sleep yet. Chris, Sara and I been hangin' out with some of the dudes from The Curse and Sugar Girl and Andythecurefan. They all were beaming about the Tonight Show and how awesome RSX looks and how fucking great they sounded. Insanely jealous.

Can't wait to see Carson Daly later on today.

Must.sleep.

Anah said...

Cat, visit Venice while you're in town!

Shadow said...

Err...
any chance of...
(looking at own feet)
sharing 'dvd-able' moments like this without going to jail or risking Craig?

Clockwise Cat said...

Anah, dunno if I will have time. Hot damn we're in Cali though. I prefer NoCal to SoCal - no offense to SoCal peeps. LA is just too glitzy for me, especially where we're staying (Burbank). I like the view from our hotel room.

(((anah)))

Echobunny said...

Hello,
I am currently seeding the HD ATSC MPEG file of the performance on Dime www.dimeadozen.org

thistle said...

What a treat to see the boys in action again! It looked like they were having fun, which bodes well for the rest of the upcoming shows. I am equal parts thrilled and seething with jealousy for all of you who get to catch at least one of the performances this week. At one of the COF gatherings, please make a toast for us peeps that are there with you in spirit! (sniffle)

And PHT's made an appearance! WooHoo!!!

Michelle said...

Yes, my boyfriend was asking why Simon looked like a greaser. but i was thinking PHT too!
haha anyway, it's really toooo bad they could only play one song at the end. Kind of frustrating. But they did sound great!

caterpillargirl2 said...

I just watched it again.

Nice performance!

Simon looks constrained on that little stage though. The guy needs room to dance and rock out with his bass.

I love the RSX toe tapping too.

Anah said...

Cat: I love you! I too prefer Northern California to Southern. And I grew up in San Diego. I lived in San Francisco and Humboldt/Mendocino County for years and years. Northern California is one of the best.places.on.earth.

-----> Have fun tonight! I have a feeling you're going to get to meet Porl... <3
