DREAM ON!

Lol thanks Jeff - I've woken up now.

HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA.

But it says, "Police’s management has not still not officially confirmed their performance," and two negatives make a positive, right? I say that's as good as frequent flyer miles right there.

DREAM ON!

Well now we know how to get Jeff's attention. He's in the house!

"Sting and The Police were last on tour in 2007 and 2008, respectively."

I knew this had to be too good to be true dammit.

DREAM ON!

My Dream was THE POLICE in PERU 2007, then 2008..., but a bastard peruvian producer played bad with another one who wanted to bring THE POLICE to my country, the result the bastard won and put the re-united argentinian trio rock band "Soda Stereo" (with Gustavo Cerati) instead of THE POLICE on National Stadium of Lima (two gigs sold out with around 100,000 peruvian fans) ... Now I don't know, that day I had lot of nightmares, nowadays PERU is an interesting place for rock bands, with plenty of success on sales and international rock bands satisfied with the hot vibes and reactions of peruvian fans... that's the result of an streets parade for claiming to peruvian national congress for reducing the taxes to international musical events...since those days (I put the idea of the parade) on december 5th 2007...lot of bands came to Lima: Kiss, Oasis, Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, The Killers, Megadeth, REM, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Duran Duran, and more... next days Beyonce, Ferdinand, and Pitbull...

My dream was broked, but my hopes still alive... I really know some of the members of THE POLICE will arrive to Peru for palying a concert... (Andy was in Peru on January 2009) I hope Stewart and Andy landed for playing rock... but the most close is taht Sting will be here as soon as I could imagine... I don't if you know, but in PERU, "THE POLICE" is one of the top rock bands of rock n'roll history...a rock band that every peruvian loves and respect

STING is playing in GERMANY in May 2010.

Croatian media have been constantly reporting about celebrities who have taken vacations there, I can't tell you how many times Adam Clayton of U2 pops up in google news because he spent 2 days there a year ago, and I don't even look at U2 news alerts every day. I think someone there has decided that increasing tourism is a priority.

Steve, you're a bad, bad man.

Dirtymartini, I know theoretical math ain't your thing, so here's how it works. -1 squared is 2, but -1 plus -1 equals -2. In short, two nots don't make a gig, they subtract 2 from the existing total.

Croatia?

This side of Christmas and STILL a week 'til payday they'd have to be playing in the pub across the road before I could afford to go.

Even so I'd probably have to stand on my tip toes outside and peer in through the window.

I know I suck at this, but isn't -1 squared 1?

Bah, screw it. Croatia, here we come!

I think you are right, Susan

I'm guessing the 'spot the deliberate mistake' defence ain't going to cut it here. Got me bang to rights. I'm going to get kicked out of physics club and end up smoking dope behind the bike sheds with the slackers....

[DirtyMartini]

No worries, smudge. We can smoke dope in Croatia. I hear the Police are playing next spring.

May I get a translation into American please? I love the sound of this, even if I haven't a clue what it actually says.
