Flag-Spotting / To Sweden and beyond, STEWART!!!
Posted: 28 Aug 2007 03:59It’s that time of year once again: the time for Flag-Spotting hints and mindless shouting and encouragement. Forgive me, Stewart. It’s what I do.
But before I jump into the Sweden wishes, Stewart, I feel I should give a bit of warning about this European leg of Where’s Flag-o: although the Flag will be making 21 of the 26 European shows, I can’t pretend that you’ll actually SEE it at all 21. I will do my best to help make the flag-spotting easier for you, but there’s not a lot of in-between this go-round: the majority of flag locations in the audience fall into three categories:
Easy Peasy
Self-explanatory.
No Fucking Clue
The Flag will be located somewhere on the floor General Admission-style, its location determined by the razor-sharpness of the Flag Bearers’ elbows.
Not a Chance in Hell
The Flag will be in the building, but you won’t find it without binoculars. I will tell you where it is out of habit and courtesy, but truly you can save your energy and plan your next symphony or work out some calculus problems instead. Just trust that it’s present and that out of your sight does not mean out of our minds. (Bad pun regretted.)
As always, thank you, Stewart. I hope you have an incredible time in Europe. Now on to the screaming:
As this first night in Stockholm will be your first night back after a long rest, it’s only fair to start you off easy. Thus, to celebrate the inaugural night of the European leg, the Flag will be located on the arm of the lovely copelandos_damour in either the second row center or somewhere (as yet unknown) in the first row. That’s it. Can’t miss. Just open your eyes, and there it is.
Easy peasy.
So dust off the cobwebs and warm up the limbs Stewart, because Sweden is waiting just for you to blaze a bright green streak across the sky.
For those about to rock, we salute you!
Welcome back to the jungle!
KICK OUT THE JAMS (MOTHER FUCKERS) IN STOCKHOLM, STEWART!!!
PS to all Copelandia: Please allow me to apologize right now for some thread-bumping that may occur over the next few weeks. I’m not a fan, but I may need to resort to some annoyance in order to compensate for time differences between the band and Mission Control. Apologies and thanks.

I can't wait for all you good Europeans to finally get to enjoy what was one of the highlights of my life! I know it will be a highlight of you all's too.
