Hello
all,
I am
Doreliz. I am from Austin, TX. I just signed up for this mailing list a couple
of weeks ago. A cool dude named David who is part of a myspace group called
"Sting & The Police" posted information about the possibility of a reunion
and offered up this link so we could sign up for this mailing list if we
wanted. I'm glad I did. You guys find the coolest stuff and the best part is
that you share it! I thank you for that! I've seen Sting 3 times in
concert but of course never The Police. By the time they broke up I was a
toddler and didn't come to know their music or become a fan until I was in my
teens. Anyway...this is all very exciting and I can't wait for them to
announce tour dates. I will be one of the first in line to buy my tickets and
will fly somewhere if I need to!
I used
to be a member of the Sting fan club that Tina, Dave & Wendy maintained
but when it came time to renew I could not afford it and I feel like I'm out
of the loop. I still get their newsletter which is cool but I want access to
all the cool stuff again! Oh well..one of these days. I did meet some cool
people on the message boards and a few of us met up before and after one of
his concerts...it was fun!
Anyway...thanks
again!
Take
care all,
Doreliz

Hey Jen,
Kudos to you for reading them all! We're back
to the usual trickle of emails, along w/lots of anxiety (for me,
anyway.)
Hope to meet you at a POLICE concert!

I am exhausted: I just finished reading over 300 Police
Mailing List emails since around New Years, mostly re: the Police Reunion.
I've been--obviously--putting off reading them, although I knew what they
were about; mostly because I dared not believe it, but partly because I knew
eventually the hype would die down and I wouldn't get caught up in the
emotional roller coaster. But What A Ride!!!
I also have been a
member for years, lurking constantly in the background, selfishly gleaning
information from your willing, often eager emails. My fondest
memories from this list include meeting Jeremy, Deb, Bill, Maggie, Ross
& Fred; picking Ross up from the airport having never personally met him
(against my now EX-husband's wishes); meeting in Irvine then driving to
'Vegas with four friends I hadn't met yet except on the list (J, D, B &
M) to see Sting at the MGM without anything but the clothes on my back and a
credit card, sharing a room with these wonderful people, counseling a new
friend on her complicated but promising relationship, seeing Michael Jordan
gamble more $$ in one hand than my ex made in one year; flying to Houston on
a 24-hr turnaround for front row seats and staying with J&D; sharing
photos and laughs with all of them for weeks after. This list anchored my
love for a man and his music that I had harbored without external support
from most friends and family, bringing it into the light without shame. I
thank you all, especially Jeremy, Deb, Bill, Maggie, Ross &
Fred.
And I sit here now still reeling from the possibility, no
matter how implausible or insane, of my favorite band of all time that I
never saw in person--although I am old enough to have seen every concert
they ever did but too sheltered (and quite frankly too stupid to make the
effort to go!) at the time--getting together once again if only for a
brief moment in a world-wide tour... although I too have fantasized about
the following, still:
I do not care if they suck.
I do not care what
songs they play.
I do not care if every song sounds completely different
from what I've been listening to for 30 years.
I will be in the presence
of a historical moment, of an artistic "big bang", and I will be enthralled,
enamored, and enthusiastic with every strum, pick, strike, note, scream. It
will be a moment I will never, ever forget.
Having said that, I
honestly didn't believe it would happen until I read Sting's
comments.
Now, the impossible has become the improbable. Hey: it's a step
in the right direction!!!
