Help find an item lost at Toronto show

"Last week I attended the Cure gig in Toronto at the Air Canada Centre. I was standing in Row 4 in front of Simon, and towards the end of the show in the first pop encore set, I decided to throw a little keychain doll on stage for Robert, but I just barely missed. I have no idea where it landed, but after the show I went up front to check to see if it was near the stage, but no luck. This little guy has travelled with me quite a bit, and I was planning on making a book out of the photography I've been doing of him over the past year. It's really quite a sentimental thing for me, and I wish I'd never thrown him in the heat of the moment!

I'll offer cash if anyone has him and can return him to me. You can contact me at gericoady@gmail.com or through MFC (hellogeri) for those of you who read there.
Attached is a photo of what he looks like: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2057/2515130988_3aeca3fc42.jpg

Cork Cure Club?

"Looking for Cure fans in the Cork City, Ireland area to form a fan club of sorts. Who knows? Maybe we can start a monthly get together, hire a DJ, tribute bands etc. I know people who will help with this. Maybe we could travel to a gig at some point aswell! I'd love to hear from you all!

Simon at Starbucks

"Funny story; Simon caught me off guard last night when he came into the Starbucks I work at in downtown Denver. I had no idea that it was him until I handed him his drink and asked if it tasted okay. After I recognized him, I was so star struck that I couldn't come up with any words to say. He just thanked me for the drink with a 'Cheers!' and strutted out of the store. Made my night!"

(Thanks Drew)

Robert health update

THROAT RED ROCKS
5/21/2008 1:03:07 AM - by CURE:ROBERT

WELL...
TODAYS DOCTOR GAVE ME THE SAME ADVICE AS YESTERDAYS DOCTOR
BASICALLY I NEED TO REST MY VOICE...

WHICH IS GOOD ADVICE
BUT HARD TO DO WITH 4 SHOWS A WEEK!!!

ANYWAY
I HAVENT SAID A WORD SINCE HE LEFT ME
AND I HOPE
I HOPE
I CAN DO A BIT BETTER IN DENVER THAN I DID IN KANSAS...

BUT OUCH
THAT KANSAS SHOW HURT!

...ONWARDS
RSX

I KNOW I KNOW
THIS SHOULD ALL HAVE BEEN IN a quiet voice

Those 2 new songs from the KC show

"I can give no more info on the new songs, except to say that both of them were far better than the other new songs we've heard (which are also great). The first one (Underneath The Stars?) is very Disintegration-like, and the second one was seriously rock- it followed the best 100 Years I've ever heard, and started so loudly that it actually made 100 Years pale in comparison, I kid you not. It was phenomenal."
(Thanks JS)

Red Rocks show info

According to the schedule Pam saw at Red Rocks yesterday, sound check is scheduled for 4pm.

And here's the e-mail V. got when she asked about the camera policy for tonight:

We haven't heard anything different than our general policy of allowing small, personal cameras. No large lenses, no detachable lenses, no pro cameras. However, I have known band's to change their minds on the day of show. We try to post that on the roads and at the bottom of the ramps when that happens.

SHM cds out and an exclusive box?

The Only One didn't get a box, but it looks like those Japanese SHM cds did:

"The 7 SHM-CD´s are out in Japan today (May, 21st). Seems that you can purchase the whole package stocked in a beautiful Pornography Design Box through DISK UNION only. All other shops sell it seperately only - as far as I´ve seen.
Here is the link of disk union - even though you can't see the box. But I´ve checked it in the shop and it looks very nice. http://diskunion.net/portal/ct/detail/04IA14"
(Thanks Thomas)

Only One updates

"CD and 7" are available since last weekend in Japan (Import Versions only) - though not very easy to find and only a few copies in the shelfs. "
(Thanks Thomas)

"The cd single is in the shops here in New Zealand, no sign of the vinyl though."

(Thanks Alastair)

"I found today my "precious" CD single in FNAC store (France, Chartres exactly) for 3,99€. "
(Thanks Fred)

"good news: i heard it on the radio today on 98.7 los angeles
bad news: walked to my local record store (amoeba) and they said it was shipped late by universal and wouldnt arrive until tommorrow."
(Thanks Trent)

Red Rocks webcam

The Red Rocks website has added a live webcam. Don't know if they keep it on during shows, but you should be able to watch the load-in and soundcheck tomorrow.
(Thanks Jim)

Kansas City show

If anyone recorded the 2 new songs, please send them in or post them somewhere. Thanks!

Lol and Michael guest dj

but I don't know if they did interviews or anything. Maybe someone recorded it?"
(Thanks Annie)

Boston show posted

Brad has posted the full Boston show on his website.
(Thank you Brad!)

Kansas City info

"I just got off of the phone with someone at the Starlight theater here in Kansas City and I thought everyone might like to know that they do not have a camera policy. As long as it's a standard point and click type of camera they are fine with it. Also, there is no curfew for the theater, so The Cure can play for as long as they like.

Last item, doors are at 5, so if people decide to get there early there is a good chance of catching the sound check."

(Thanks Frank)
