  5. V: Know what I'm thinking about? : )

    ReplyDelete
  6. OH HELL YES ¡¡¡¡¡

    THE WAVES, I LIKE A LOT THE WAVES BEFORE THE BAND KICK IN...

    Gave shivers down my spine...as the full song, of course, mainly the last lyrics paragraph.

    Ahhhhhhhhhh.

  7. Craig: Yes, I think I do. :) I was just thinking about it too.

  8. Hi, DJ Scribbles!

    Really, Craig, you think it looks bad?! I guess some of it looks cheesy, but most trailers look that way, including many ads for BSG. I thought that scene in the trailer in which Adama says "The name isn't Adams; it's Adama!" was pretty cool, hinting at identity politics and immigration and stuff.

    I can't wait for more political insight. My only massive gripe is that Ron Moore's planning to leave Caprica mid-way through Season 1 and leave it all to Jane Espenson.

    You should know that the BSG Season 4.5 DVD is going to have 3 longer episodes. !0 + minutes for "A Disquiet Follows My Soul" in which the mutiny story starts; then 20 more minutes for the awfully rushed "Islanded in a Stream of Stars", which was edited to heck and then 20+ minutes for the finale. I had problems with not enough exploration of the cylons but thought it was overall pretty cool and very moving at the end; I cried the next day a lot.

    I can't wait for the TV movie this fall, "The Plan", directed by the awesome Edward James Olmos.

    What did you think, Craigers, or any other BSG fans, by the way.

    (I guess you guys would rather get excited about The Cure, huh?)

  9. Aww... *blush* :)

    *V blows a kiss back to Craig*

  10. I've heard about the legendary Public Enemy as a good rap group, but I didn't know that Flavor Flav was in it. The guy seems like such a vain idiot, based on those reality shows. How good can this group be? Maybe that's unfair...

    ReplyDelete
  11. Craigs off for loving room shenanigans Muld, he can't hear you...

    ReplyDelete
  12. Damn - I have to go catch my plane.

    Enjoy the show and I will see you all soon

    ReplyDelete
  13. I thought Caprica didn't look all that interesting... but, I will watch.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  18. Have a safe and very pleasant flight back to Australia, Jo.

    We´ll gonna miss you tonight.

    ;)

  19. "what if theyre doing the same set? just completing it? om my god!" - ndy

    ReplyDelete
  20. No one reads anything, do they?

    ReplyDelete
  21. What does "ROFL" stand for, DJ Scribbles?

    Many those obnoxious "rap" head and hand gestures from the crowd are embarrassing.

    Everyone after me, "Ohhhh Weeee Ohhh!" (Jeez) I guess if they're having a good time.

    ReplyDelete
  22. someone needs to HACK the AT&T internetwebitudes and get the Cures on this!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Astro, The Cure doesn't start until 10:10 on the webcast.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Craig: I do. :) And I know what is scheduled to happen in 10 minutes. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  25. Heron: "Simon rocking the very tight phts tonight. Sound is perfect and eyeryone looks happy and together."

    ReplyDelete
  26. Will Andy be able to test ...er...ts text!? I read about the weed! I heart Andy but I hope his texting skills are not affected.

    Is the Paul that Porl hits on there? I heart him too!!

    ReplyDelete
  27. The first 2 songs are the same of Pearl...

    By the way, RS did a long Prayers for Rain scream last show...

    Great....

  36. "keep an eye on last nights setlist if they repeat"- andy

    ReplyDelete
  37. He's wearing the hoodie with the pom poms?!

    ReplyDelete
  38. "like the lotto, first three songs are the same hopefully the next is and especially the last"- andy

    ReplyDelete
  39. Heron is texting me, and Jen is e-mailing. : )

    ReplyDelete
  40. Andy needs to chill and enjoy!

    -sometimes the cellulars just get in the way-

    ReplyDelete
  41. He's wearing the furries?? How do you know did Andy see them?

    ReplyDelete
  42. Jeff, the DVD is going to have a longer cut (12 minutes or so) than the broadcast version planned next year. What a bloody wait!

    Also, Eric Stoltz! He only does indie or interesting stuff. He was supposed to play Marty McFly in "Back to the Future", but was fired because he was acting too mature." I'm guessing that means he was acting realistically.

    Did I hear "Obama deception"! Ain't that bloody right! Flavor Flav has a son? Wasn't he looking for a wife, like, 2 years ago on a humiliating reality show? Why do I know this crap.

    ReplyDelete
  43. hey, i liked his hoodie, it looked comfy, although a bit warm?

    ReplyDelete
  44. 5 more minutes for us poor saps watching the webcast...Why are they starting the webcast 20 minutes AFTER they Cure start playing?

    pout

    ReplyDelete
  45. Yeah, RS will be sweating like a pig if he isn't already!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Thanks, DJ Scribbles. I guess I'm not too good at socializing via this medium. Messages need to be shorter.

    Take care, folks. I'd better do some work. Will be with you in spirit when The Cure shows up on AT&T. So jealous of the folks who got to hear "To Wish Impossible Things".

    ReplyDelete
  47. i never understood, if you look almost all the artists wear longer sleeves and pants, but it's so warm! I don't get it...
    oooo PE is ending On with the CURE!!!

  49. Did Robert even change from his Friday night clothes? I love that man he is sooooooooooo not a slave to fashion!!

    ReplyDelete
  50. What the hell about Robert wearing a furry hoodie with bunnies on it? Please start the webcast ATT so I can understand.

    I THINK THEY"RE DONE. ENOUGH ALREADY! No, we have another song from PE. This has to be the last one.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Craig: How do you keep it all staight? I would get all jumbled with everyone texting and emailing me at the same time.

    CoF World Headquarters must get intense at times... XD

    ReplyDelete
  52. So far this looks very familiar... :)

    LOL, It's a strange thing...hard to describe...

    Are you the same fuchsia that went to RS's house?

    ReplyDelete
  54. Craig is obviously a brainiac! Yay Craig!!

    ReplyDelete
  55. Heron: "Before alt.end, Robert said I eternally love you"

    ReplyDelete
  56. Craig's a fucking genius Anna... a regular cyborg genius!

    ReplyDelete
  57. Come on and play THE CURE already! We're missing it. :(

    ReplyDelete
  58. can anyone please tell me whether AT&T is webcasting the concert? I can only see an error message...

    ReplyDelete
  59. Come on! The Cure! I love Fight The Power, but I want The Cure!

    ReplyDelete
  60. Yes, they are, but it's still Public Enemy atm.

    ReplyDelete
  61. "someone just shouted i love you robert and he said in return i love you or something similar oh my god sweetest thing ever" - andy

    ReplyDelete
  62. I see flavor flav and I am seriously considering auditioning for his next show!!

    ReplyDelete
  63. I think they'll start the the Cure webcast from the beginning... and then edit for time? Thus the 20 minute or so overlap

    ReplyDelete
  64. No surprise...End of the World

    ReplyDelete
  65. Aww...Robert! We love you <333

    ReplyDelete
  66. Think they'll do Lovesong next? : P

    ReplyDelete
  67. If they stick to this same set, I wonder in which order they'll play IBD/Push... :)

    ReplyDelete
  68. Heron: "No tech glitches so far"

    ReplyDelete
  69. I hope we get to see the whole thing...

    Nope I've never been to Robert's house that I can remember ;-)

    Please stop the rap. I change my mind about "liking these guys"! Go away.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Andy needs to get on the stage and stick a boot up their azz!!

    ReplyDelete
  71. Just mute that shit until they come on...2 minutes and counting...

    ReplyDelete

  75. Isn't flavor flav old enough to be Robert's dad?

    ReplyDelete
  76. Will To Wish Impossible Things be next? : ) Or is this where it changes?

    ReplyDelete
  77. "post this for laughs: the crowd is so into it theyre all standing!" - andy

    LOL

    ReplyDelete
  78. I suppose you're right. Think if the Cure were doing a great rendition of Faith and were abruptly cut off in the middle for time....horrible to contemplate...

    ReplyDelete
  79. Craig: I hope it doesn't change with that...I want them to play that. :)

    ReplyDelete
  121. I thought Jo was on a plane? : )

    Andy needs to chill... does weed make him paranoid???

    Sound is pretty good : ) sounds kinda sound-boardish.

    ReplyDelete
  122. I wish, V (TWIT - lol)

    I have moved to Starbucks near my gate.

    ReplyDelete
  123. awwww sara, porl misses you!


    thistle, welcome back :)

    ReplyDelete
  124. I'm on the phone with a friend. He's pretty sure he can record it for me. Sorry I didn't think of this sooner. He's starting his computer up right now.

    ReplyDelete
  125. That probably explains the delayed start of the webcast. Cure doing their own audio mix.

    ReplyDelete
  126. Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!
