Thanks Paivi

For the first time in 7 long years, I can finally say I'm going to see The Cure again! A Cure with Roger O'Donnell and Lol Tolhurst! A true Black Friday in NYC. : ) But are you ready, NYC? You going to be the best Reflections crowd yet? Going to put LA to shame? Going to actually sing along to the keyboard parts in 'Play For Today'? Of course you are! This is NYC! Have a great time tonight, and please enjoy these shows for the very special events they are.

For tonight, I will try to keep you updated as best as I can on Twitter. I hope you can see them posted above. If not, just check here.
