Craig said...

Hey Kate. : P

Mad Bob RJS said...

Hi Craig, Hi everyone.

I wish to all of you CURE peeps @ The Pearl a great show.

I couldn´t be here to follow the live setlit because i´ll be @ the Mexican RS´s b-day party tonight.

Every time that it´s a concert´s night i feel the same exciting feeling.

I like a lot to see the recently taken pics, the info that reporters provide and all this sort of things.

AHHH I WANT TO SEE CURE ¡¡¡


Greetings ¡¡¡

:)


P.S: I´ll catch up all CURE show highlights when i´ll be back at home

;)

Craig said...

Have a great time, Mad Bob!

v said...

Have fun, Mad Bob!! :)

Psst, Craig, my name is not Kate. :P

Craig said...

V: But your motives are the same. : P

Mad Bob RJS said...

Thanks Craig & V...

Yes, for sure i´ll have fun.

A CURE event is too much fun guaranteed.

See you later... !!!

:)

P.S. Hoping to see that CURE played s couple of new tunes tonight...

Can i dream about it, right ?

;)

beachy said...

I am so kicking myself for not going to this show and I hope for another opportunity to see the cure this year. Craig I think it's way past time for the cure to make their return to NOLA. Thank god for COF! I'll be following the live setlist tonight and dreaming I was in Vegas. I hope the livestream happens. :) All you folks there have a fantastic time!

v said...

Wow, I bet Andy is a happy Simon fanboy right now!

Mad Bob RJS said...

And the most important thing:

Sing Happy B-day to RS the louder as possible.

My voice will sing to him too.

Make him feel beloved for all his fans ( us ).


I want to see his face when it happens...

:)

Bye...

dj scribbles said...

WHOOT!! so glad to hear that, i cant wait to see those simon photos <3

beachy - LONG TIME NO SEE!!!

Anah said...

Hola Peeps: <3

dj scribbles said...

I MISSED YOU!!

lisalovecat said...

I'll be here for a while anyways :). Hoping my friend calls me during the birthday song, or any song for that matter !!! feels like a 4tour night..

lisalovecat said...

Craig said...

Lisa: You should read Cof. You would have seen that 2 months ago. : )

Rosepetals said...

Has anyone spotted Simon's tights?

Morris said...

i'm not jealous.

i'm sitting at home alone baking sugar cookies and taking lots of prescription pain killers.

...should be a very enjoyable evening.

Rosepetals said...

You sound fun Morris. Can I come over? But make sure you have tights like Simon's.

lisalovecat said...

oh well what can I say.. got stuff going on ...

Helsabot said...

aww, that Robert, I still find him freakishly adorable in an 'escaped mental patient' sort of way. I still remember when I bought that t-shirt with his giant head on it, I put it on as I was about to go to sleep and said, "Oh yeah, I get to sleep with Robert Smith tonight!"

Re Kate's Bloodflowers: makes sense! ;)
I wouldn't mind gettin' me one of those!!

Hopefully I can pop in for the chat tonight.... almost makes me wish I could be there, but like many others here on the East Coast, I can't really afford to travel anywhere else. boo.

<333 Everyone.

Helsabot said...

It's alright Morris... pain killers can be fun! Just don't over do it! *hugs<3*

dj scribbles said...

lisalovecat - i havent seen you in forever as well, *SQUISHY HUG*

my rosepetals is here!!!

morris, helsabot - :D

aww heck. *group hug*

Rosepetals said...

Hi DJ I'm behaving.

lisalovecat said...

hey dj hope you are well :). Just ordered some pizza, so I'm just about prepared :). Hi to everyone else to I haven't seen in a while :).

Rosepetals said...

Not that anyone cares but I will be back later.

dj scribbles said...

then hurry back rose :)

Anah said...

*falls over

DJ: XD

2 Hours and counting... Where are the pictures of Si from the bar? I wonder if he still has that mullet thing on his head. /gonk

Helsabot said...

aww

*FREAKYCUREHUGS WITH INNAPPROPRIATE TOUCHING!*

Anah said...

Aww, Jonathon Ross...

Wait, are those miniature rabbits attacking Robert's shirt?

lisalovecat said...

repost- useless Cure tidbit #1- I named my new kitty Halo :).

Craig said...

White Lies are kicking ass on the Coachella webcast right now.

Anah said...

Helsa: If you're touching me in any way, I promise not to find it inappropriate!

dj scribbles said...

while we're waiting..

robert 93 finsbury interviewthe person who uploaded it also has some nice other gems - QE2 footage too! - one where robert breaks a toy duck and saves a child XD

Anah said...

C-He is sort of Ian like is he not?

Morris said...

Click forSugar Cookies

dj scribbles said...

totally forgot moz and paul Mc are at coach tonight. white lies kicking ass! signed to fiction - how interesting.

can we have some morris? :)

Morris said...

Of course, that's why i posted the link DJ!

v said...

Mmmm, cookies!

dj scribbles said...

"security keeps shooing peeps into the slots area"

ROFL.


morris did you share some with happy?

gawd, i cant even start to imagine what setlist theyll play tonight.

v said...

"security keeps shooing peeps into the slots area"

I first read that as "Security keeps shooting peeps into the slots area". I imagined little marshmallow ducks flying everywhere.

v said...

Err, chicks?

dj scribbles said...

LOLLO v

shellheart said...

good morning :O)

dj scribbles said...

hiya shellheart! do i know you from CCC?

in the webcast, it looks like they raelly were playing slots!

cure_kitty said...

Hmmm 90 minutes to go now! Damn I wish I had the $$$ to have been able to get to Vegas! I should have went, I just realized I could have stayed with my Uncle. He lives near Vegas! Duh where is my brain sometimes. Still too broke to afford the tickets & the flight.

East Coast Cure Peeps need to have a Cure Event like this to happen later in the Year! I know I'm not the only East Coaster and others too feeling depressed for not being their tonight!

And some peeps got to meet Simon! Very cool! Can't wait to see the pics. Looks like everyone is having a fun time so far! Enjoy the show!

cure_kitty said...

Yum those cookies Morris made look Yummy!!!!

shellheart said...

Don't think so I am not very active at ccc...

v said...

Guten morgen, shellheart. :)

dj scribbles said...

cure kitty - franz ferdinand playing coachella now! check the webcast!

well least you east coasters get the most international shows - RCMH and MSG

ah my mistake shellheart. which part of germany are you in?

shellheart said...

guten morgen V :o)

Craig said...

V: Showoff! : P

v said...

Craig: Am not!

cure_kitty said...

shellheart said...

No prob. Near frankfurt

Craig said...

V: I'm surprised you didn't reply in German. : P

Lux said...

About 1hr 10mins until showtime now is that right? The time difference is baffling.

P.S. Hi! *waves*

AndrewV127 said...

So how is everyone doing tonight? It feels like forever since a live show.

cure_kitty said...

Thanks DJ! I tried to install the AT&T's webcast viewer but nothing happens. My laptop is so messed up, I can't install anything. Oh well no big deal, I'm going to see them in Philly in a few weeks. I love FF's and the new stuff is great!!!!

It's been a while since I last posted on here, how have you been DJ? The East Coast gets The Cure during their big tours but very rarely do we get extra shows like they did in December & now! Oh well I shouldn't complain, at least they do come to Philly during most of their tours!

cure_kitty said...

Andrew, I'd feel better if I was at The pearl right now!!! Actually I'm good how about you?

Anah said...

CureKitty: We really should do an East Coast CoF gathering. Helsabot, you're over here too?

Michelle said...

Whooohoo It's a Cure show night!
Hi everyone...It's been so long :)

v said...

Hah, Paul K. is funny.

Craig said...

Lux: Yes, you've got the time right.

AndrewV127 said...

Yeah I'm OK kitty. Very excited about tonight.

Lux said...

Woohoo! Thank you :)

Anah said...

Paul K is my new hero.

dj scribbles said...

aww, but seeing them live is even better cure kitty!!

looking absolutely forward to pauls reports

cure_kitty said...

Anah I totally agree it would be cool to have a East Coast COF gathering either with a Cure show or not! I'd be there in a heartbeat! I need to meet some COF peeps!

cure_kitty said...

That's good Andrew! I miss these live show nights and it's nice to have two this weekend! The Cure need to do a big tour again so we can do this more often.

Anah said...

If we had one, Craig would have to come.

Helsabot said...

aah finally get to sit.

Yes Anah, I'm in Maryland. *touches you inappropriately* ;)

I saw them at the Patriot Center last year... such a great show. I'd really love for them to come back here soon.

cure_kitty said...

Yes it is better to see them live dj! I'm excited it will be my 1st FF concert!

cure_kitty said...

Anah maybe we should have it in NOLA????? Craig would have to come if it's in his home town!

Craig said...

Posted a photo of the new shirts.

Anah said...

*blushing*


We should have it at Disney World. A CoF meetup at Disney...teacups here we come!

Anah said...

If we paid for his plane tickets he would have to come, lol.

Helsabot said...

hmm, I'm not so sure about the spewing head thing, but I like the one on the far left and the ones with just stitches.

cure_kitty said...

Cool shirts but I still see the ridiculous prices are still being charged. And yes if I was there I'd buy them no matter the dollar amount. LOL!!

Helsabot said...

Craig, you seriously need to make it to a show... I know your obligations as a double agent make it difficult to schedule for these kinds of things... but it's really about time.

Sorry Anah! Didn't know you were so bashful! XD

cure_kitty said...

Yes Disney World would be cool! I haven't been their for ages. Craig couldn't miss out on that trip could he?

cure_kitty said...

Next Cure Show, craig should go! Let's hope they do something on this of the country later in the year!

Anah said...

*nah, I was just blushing from all the heat!


Surely he can put saving the World on hold for a few days to come to a gathering, and/or a show?

dj scribbles said...

oh my goodness - $40 for a shirt??

YAAAY cure kitty!! i expect pics please :)


off topic - it seems the pirate bay founders are in trouble. :(

AndrewV127 said...

I would love to see another world tour within the next 8-12 months. I really don't think a summer tour is on the cards although I would love to be proved wrong.

Helsabot said...

I don't know, Craig's always seemed like he's very keen on meeting his obligations to the world. :)

What happened with Pirate Bay? Didn't they get in trouble before??

About the t-shirt: I think I paid like $50 for my giant Robert headed one...

Anah said...

$50 for a t-shirt?

//facepalm

AndrewV127 said...

$50 for a shirt? You have heard of eBay right?

dj scribbles said...

geez louise. even PAST TOUR shirts (bloodflowers, and EVEN WISH - and most wish shows were before i was born) go cheaper than that.

i saw a rare lovesong (prayer tour) shirt go for $12.

pity, those precious treasures should be going for much higher. should be higher than current tour shirts! (meaning tour shirts now should go a bit lower)

piratebay - swedish court rules four founders get a year in prison, and pay 3.6 MILLION in fines. shit.

AndrewV127 said...

The pirate Bay guys will appeal.

cure_kitty said...

Dj I'll try to post my pics if I get any good ones. The show is GA and I'm not sure I want to fight to get to the front. I hate GA & at my age Ok I'm only 40 but the pushing & shoving just get to me anymore. I know it will happen at the venue FF is playing in Philly! So if I'm in the back, I may not get the best pics. But I will try & post the good ones if I get any! Tickets were cheap just $25 bucks!!! Wish all show were this price.

lisalovecat said...

yay sarab !!

Helsabot said...

fuuuuck... I didn't hear about that. Damn, those poor guys! but... isn't their website still up...? I'm pretty sure it is. I don't know, I could be getting confused...

I don't remember precisely how much I paid for the shirt. I bought it after the show was over, so I was exhausted and dehydrated beyond all belief. It could have been more or less, I really don't recall what I paid for it! XP
I hope most if not ALL that money went to The Cure...

cure_kitty said...

Shirts in the past (the 80's) were cheap but the T-shirt quality was always iffy. Thin shirts, poor printing, too small....well at least the shirts I got. They are way over priced today but I just cannot go to a show and not get at least one! You need a souvenir of the nights show to take home!

dj scribbles said...

is it just me or do you have to refresh the vegas livecast page for the latest vids?

cure kitty - $25??! its good to see some bands using sensible prices for their fans

Helsabot said...

Is anyone else having trouble looking at Sara's webcast thingy? I know it's not live now, but it won't play what's already been recorded...

Helsabot said...

Up yours "Configuration Error"!

dj scribbles said...

helsabot - it did that to me too. i just closed the window and the new window worked

AndrewV127 said...

Yeah I'm having issues with the Livecast. It may be because I'm in the UK. It says I need to download a Plugin but when I try to, it doesn't work.

Helsabot said...

I don't think the location is supposed to affect you Andrew... I think I need to update my player or something... dammit.

dj scribbles said...

helsa - whats your browser?

Helsabot said...

I'm switching between IE and Firefox, but like I said, it won't play what's already been recorded... it just won't play at all. blah.

v said...

It didn't work for me in Firefox, but it played in IE.

cure_kitty said...

dj when I got the tickets I thought it's only $25 bucks! This must be wrong but no it was only $25 bucks. They are playing the Electric Factory in Philly. Cool place to see a show not too big and it all GA so maybe that why it's cheap? Most of the venues they are playing are small & the prices are mostly under $50.00. Maybe later on they may play bigger venues & the prices will be higher? Who knows but with prices like that, I'd go to more shows!

Helsabot said...

hmm, it's alright. I'm going to download Quick Time Pro and see if that works.

Craig said...

Works fine for me in Firefox 3.0.8

HappyEverAfterGirl said...

hello all! just sawsimon on stage left!

v said...

Craig: It must be something to do with my plugins then.

Dumb Anguish said...

I'm at the show. Waiting for it to start. Got to meet Rev Jo and Kate. I'm all kinds of excited!!

cure_kitty said...

I can see sara's videos fine but the sound is to low even with my volume turned way up. Not sure if it's the recording or the player not quite working right?

bells4her said...

Are we there yet??

lisalovecat said...

I can get it loud kitty... sounds like people are having issues all round.

Anah said...

Horray DA!! Have fun!

cure_kitty said...

Good to see COF peeps in attendance are posting on here!

v said...

DA: Woo hoo! :)

Craig said...

V: What type of plugins do you need? I might have what you're looking for. ; )

cure_kitty said...

llc--It could be my laptop. I had some major issues with Vista (to long to explain) so all sort of stuff on my laptop are fucked up! I'm just glad I can still access the web to keep up with the COF!

v said...

Craig: Hmm... :) Hmm......... ;)

cure_kitty said...

Ten minutes till show time! :)

Anah said...

Ahh! *averting eyes*

lisalovecat said...

exactly ! reminds me of the 08 4tour days :).

Anah said...

UTS to start, or will we have a surprise set?

dj scribbles said...

DA - had no idea you were there! hope you got lots of hugs, have fun :)


BELLSSSSSS!!!

AndrewV127 said...

I still can't get the Livecast. I have tried Firefox and Safari :(

VanillaSmile said...

I'm watching Festival 2005 right now. Really hoping they will play The Kiss tonight!!! Of course I would die if they played Other Voices too, but that's unlikely. UTS about to start?????????

v said...

Did anyone text any messages to the # Sara gave to be displayed on the big screen? ;)

HappyEverAfterGirl said...

we are taking video..gonna upload when we get home. haven't met any cof peeps...stuck behind a crowd ..maybe after???

Anah said...

V-am doing one now, not sure if it'll work though?

dj scribbles said...

you text "pearl" to the number?

wouldnt that mean pearl would show up on the screen?

forgive me ignorance. im the only teen existing who doesnt text LOL

Helsabot said...

Andrew: You might have more luck with quick time... I can download the bloody video but I still can't watch it. I get disconected. Eh, I don't have the time or inclination to figure this out...

lisalovecat said...

****please let's all dedicate this evening to a dear friend of many Cure friends on the MFC. Selkie/Mandy. I just found out she passed away April 16. RIP Mandy. ***. This one's for you :).

dj scribbles said...

that makes me very sad lisa.

Morris said...

i just read that... i talked to her a few times and sent her one of my zines for her son to see... so sad.

lisalovecat said...

I didn't even really know her, but it makes me tear up. This evening is a great way to honor her memory anyways :).

cure_kitty said...

Rosepetals said...

Is that Selkie that use to mod at Cure.com??

Craig said...

I don't know her, but very sad to hear that. : (

Helsabot said...

lisalovecat- Was Selkie a mod? Black hair with glasses??? Man.... what the hell...

VanillaSmile said...

Lisa...I'm sorry! I'm listening to "At Night" this one is for Mandy.

cure_kitty said...
This post has been removed by the author.
Anah said...

Sending a text to that number didnt work....any ideas? LOL...DA: I don't know either?

Rosepetals said...

Hi Helsbot is it the same one??

Anah said...

I didn't know Mandy either, but my thoughts go out to her friends and family.

cure_kitty said...

Such sad news lisa. I used to post to the MFC and I remember her from there. She was a huge Cure fan and will be missed by many! May she rest in peace.

lisalovecat said...

rose and hels, yes she was a mod. I just saw her pic too and instantly remembered her. man..

AndrewV127 said...

Didn't know her but that is sad news.

jeff said...

craig... got aftershow... but dont know how to post live reports. i guess i can do it this way? number is 3108060527 if you want to exchange privately...

jeff

Helsabot said...

Rose- I only knew of ONE Selkie over there. I'm pretty sure it is... damn. WTF. I hope her family is holding up okay...

Rosepetals said...

Is this her???

lisalovecat said...

yes rose.

Rosepetals said...

Crap, she's way too young!!! That's soooooooo sad!!

bells4her said...

Welcome back DJ!!!

Anah said...

Paul K is funny!

v said...

8:11pm - Paul K. : "Wow, this crowd is SO good looking."Hahahah!

dj scribbles said...

oh god no. poor selks. she'll be missed so much

Lux said...

Ohmygosh! That news about Selkie is so sad!

Rosepetals said...

Are you positive about Selkie?

Rosepetals said...

How did she die??

lisalovecat said...

I posted the link to the post on mfc made by her husband -see above.

Rosepetals said...

Thanks Lisa, I just saw that!!

beachy said...

That is just terrible news. I just got back on the computer a few mins ago to follow the setlist live and saw this news. How horribly sad for her hubby and children. I never met her in person, but I did know her from mfc for quite some time. RIP Mandy, you will be missed by many.

v said...

Oh wow, that is so sad. :(

lisalovecat said...

I bet she'll be at the Cure show tonight :) :).

Craig said...

Sara is having trouble with her phone charger. Livecasts might be limited.

lisalovecat said...

aww too bad, but when is the show starting ??? lol

dj scribbles said...

trying to text the pearl, can anyone say the number works?

Craig said...

30 minutes ago. : )

lisalovecat said...

I tried to dj and got a msg that it didn't work.

VanillaSmile said...

Mandy will be on stage with the guys tonight...

lisalovecat said...

that robert- what a diva!

Ryan said...

man i love those shirts!

if they're not planning on a tour, at least put them for sale on the site, please!

Anah said...

DJ: I tried, but it didnt work. I just tried the number, I didnt put "Pearl" anywhere in it though, as I thought it would do what you said.

---Half hour late? LOL.

cure_kitty said...

Must be crazy at The Pearl right now! I bet they will not start till 9.

beachy said...

So this is why they asked for the later curfew? :) I was just dreaming that tonight would be a 4 hour gig. :P

Helsabot said...

"---Half hour late? LOL."

Really? LOL

dj scribbles said...

vanilla - exactly.


30 mins ago? i was about to say 'is paul so drunk he forgot to text us?' LOL. but then i realized theyre late.. as usual

v said...

Could this delay be related to them wanting to extend the curfew?

cure_kitty said...

If it is going to be 4 hours, I should kick myself right now for not going!

beachy said...

Somebody needs to get Robert out of the poker room right now!

cure_kitty said...

Maybe Robert is winning a lot at the blackjack tables???? LOL!!!

dj scribbles said...

if they DO start at 9 - miles and miles away in a desert somewhere, Morrisey is going to start his set too

Ditty said...

Aww, I was looking forward to them. Oh, well, it can't be helped. (:

Hope everyone there's enjoying it a whole bunch! :DD

Thanks for ruining the suspense, Jeff! : )

Rosepetals said...

Maybe Robert is playing Keno with the old geezers since he will be 50 soon.

cure_kitty said...

Moz or The Cure? I'd take the Cure anyday! The Smith was the one band I'd loved in the 80's that I never saw a concert for. Not even when Morrisy went solo. Did I miss anything at their shows???

jeff said...

oh... sorry for the setlist spoilers but that IS the setlist. I promise.

dj scribbles said...

MMM prayers for rain.. strange day.. to wish impossible things.. want..

cure_kitty said...

LoL Rose! Keno is the worst game you can play in Vegas!

Craig said...

Oh I believe you. : ) At least we don't know the encores. Have fun, Jeff!

cure_kitty said...

Thanks for the spoilers jeff! :(

dj scribbles said...

"I'm having the best time ever with Cure dorks. Best concert ever bitch. LOL" - Paul K

best live reporter ever.

Helsabot said...

um... seems like a pretty 'standard' setlist...

Rosepetals said...

Yes, but old people like keno. Just kidding, he's gorgeous at any age.

AndrewV127 said...

Hmm no new songs (although I wasn't expecting any). That dark album seems further and further away.

cure_kitty said...

Paul is one funny drunk COF peep!!!! LOL!!!! I love it!
