I'm a 5+ year lurker of this mailing list. This is the only such list I've ever followed. I've never seen the Police perform. Prior to 2003, my friend (another dedicated fan) and I fantisized about a reunion. After the R'nRoll Induction, we prayed for a reunion. Over the next few years, we basically conceeded that it would never happen. And all of a sudden, it's on the verge of happening...... This possibility is consuming my thoughts. I've loaded my computer at work with all the Police material I have. I've been inspired to buy a record player and archive digital versions of some rare LP bootlegs (including the great MM-14) on my computer. I finished Andy's book in November and revisited Sting's "Broken Music". I look at my collection of 7" singles and signed LPs that have been on my wall, in higher prominace than my medical degree, in my office. I'm considering purchasing the Andy Summers replica Fender Telecaster. All of a sudden, it's on the verge of happening..... I'm flying my best friend to Minneapolis to have a Grammy's party: one song, one performance is the party. Someone on this list speculated that the tour would not be for us, but for a broader audience. This event is for us more than any others. This is the ONE thing that EVERY member of this list has dreamed and perhaps been too afraid to hope for. And all of a sudden, it's on the verge of happening.... My name is Mark and I live in Minneapolis. If the Police play here, I will orginize the party for any list members that want to come. Hell, I'll buy the drinks. And when I got to NY, I hope one of you will do the same. And when I go to LA, I hope one of you will do the same.... If I'm able to get extra tickets, I will offer them at cost/trade to members of this list. Let's unite, help each other and celebrate! ps-I'm sorry some of you are giving up because of the "stress" or "costs." Krapola, you can stay at home and regret what you missed for the rest of your life. _________________________________________________________________ FREE online classifieds from Windows Live Expo buy and sell with people you know http://clk.atdmt.com/MSN/go/msnnkwex0010000001msn/direct/01/?href=http://exp...
