Toronto #2 being added to the Flag Schedule for the 1st North American Leg. Thanks, Copelandous!

The numbering is now all kinds of wonky because of the added dates in St. Louis and Miami, but since those dates are past, I'm just going to ignore them. So please just trust me and go with it. New steps are 6a and 6b. Going forward, we've got:

NORTH AMERICAN LEG #1:

STOP 8a: AUGUST 1 – NYC/MSG (signature-collector: sockii/flag-waver: Donna)
[After sockii collects signatures pre-show, she hands flag to Donna to wave during concert.]

DM you F'ing RAWK.

Congrats to Conroy with flag duties that night.

I'll be sure to sign it

by **DirtyMartini** on 12 Jul 2007 01:46

You better!

by **conroy** on 12 Jul 2007 01:49

I just have to say, I know Ian has already got a spot reserved for you at the Backstage Cafe next to the Pearly Gates up in heaven, DM!!! You've earned it with the orchestration of the flag's tour of the world!

by **DirtyMartini** on 12 Jul 2007 02:00

Oh, Conroy.

Thank you.

xoxo

by **Spec A!** on 12 Jul 2007 02:02

Dude, that was a most eloquent way to put it.

Kellie you rock. It's been a while since I looked at the flag sked, and it's simply amazing that it's traveling the globe to over 30 shows and counting. And to think you only joined us 6 or so months back!

Rock on mi lady! And (ass)hat's off to you!

by **DirtyMartini** on 12 Jul 2007 02:14

Aw. Thank you, too, Anthony.

But it just took me five minutes to figure out what "sked" meant. All this being nice stuff is screwing up my brain. It must stop.

Fuck you, weasel.

by **DirtyMartini** on 13 Jul 2007 23:51

The Flag is going to Hershey, and I now don't have to drive to Westchester at 5 am next Friday. (Whoo-hoo!) Thank you to Donna and Nancy's friend Denise!

SamburuSunset, you're up!

....what about the *tube sock* point?!? You could call it spectulation, I suppose, but with all our craziness over here of late I'm *sure* Stewart has checked in to his website to see the goings on.

[quote]And (ass)hat's off to you![/quote]

A little OT, but surely you guys have visited ye old www.urbandictionary.com ? On the page for the 'asshat' entry, there is a great picture which you must see (edit: actually 3 images, 2 of which are great): http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=asshat DO IT!!

[/quote]

Don't get your knickers in a twist, girl. The Flag can't do both Toronto on 11/8 and Boston on 11/11 due to the limitations of time and space. Once the Police tour schedule is finalized, I'll be able to make decisions on the Flag Schedule.

Thanks for the visual, 3/4.

Dear DM,

When you wake up from your well earned beauty rest, please add mtobinjones to the flag bearing!

I would like to do Auckland and Wellington NZ (I posted elsewhere, but I have an office in LA and Auckland and, well, I neeeeeed to make a quarterly trip down anyway....)

Please, I will organize a site for signing and I promise, on my honor, to serve my flag and my country Copelandia! Will happily share and ship per your instructions to whomever is handling the Aussie shows!

STEWART COPELAND

Let your Team Copeland Flag fly!!! (Flag-Bearers wanted.)
