in for a treat and a time travel

via the randomness and beauty of the .org, i shall finally be seeing a band that i have wanted to see since i was maybe 9 or 10 years old. the progression went as such:

What were you doing in 1985? dancin in the streets perhaps?

I wasn't eleven, but wrote my name down as JJ Taylor-LaBeef.

oh bonochick - could there still be a chance? i bet i can still do the 'dianne taylor' signature that i practiced on all my notebooks. they're all getting old, but i think he's aged the best of the duran boys.

hungry like the wolf, indeed. they made some sexy videos back in the day. timberlake wishes he could make a video as hot as girls on film.

Rio? And DON'T call them gay!

i wasnt calling THEM gay, just that video.

• Author: dianne
• 9/14/06 1:05:45 PM

oh my god, i love that video. and obvs not gay with all the crotch shots of that girl. granted, if a man dressed like that today - totally gay. but in 1985, they were just european.

rio was my first ever album purchase of my own. i saved my allowance and bought it. i remember my stepfather becoming very offended by the moans on hungry like the wolf. it was awesome.

all this duran duran talk led me to see if they were touring, and they are the grand opening concert at the new venue they are opening across from my husband's work here in chicago.

talk about fans though, i was checking out their fan club package. you pay $35 for membership, but then you can purchase the ultimate platinum vip tickets - the first 5 rows are reserved for the platinum tickets and you get a pre-gig party, possible meet and greet.

all for only $345 a ticket.

them's some fanatical durannies.

oh well, it was a bit bad but funny though, like time travel

Time travel seems like an excellent word to describe it :)

$345!!!
*faints*

For a 100 more I could get myself arrested for threatening to have someone killed off someone MySpace page!

my husband just bought me tickets to see duran duran because he gets tickets before they go on sale since he works for sears.

i'm so lucky that he indulges me on my freakish impulses. *swoon* i love him.
