To paraphrase the late, not-so-great Robert Palmer:

"You cant sleep, you cant eat
Theres no doubt, youre in deep
Your throat is tight, you cant breathe
You might as well face it you're ADDICTED TO STONES"

That's how I feel right now - with only five days remaining until Nijmegen gets rocked, I'm already in deep! Woke up this morning with YGMR, of all songs, stuck in my head. (A bad omen, perhaps.) I'm so damn excited, already!

Anybody else feeling the same way? Almost unhealthily excited!

...yeah it's hard to tell them apart, those open-g's........and beelyboy aint it great living vicariously through the young bongster?

I'm not the "mr. mick taylor loyalist" all though I love him too (to some degree)

you mean OpenG not open-g.

I'm in Kreuzberg, if you know someone who needs a great Frankfurt ticket, I have one. (see All Sold Out)

Bong, aren't you heading over to Brussels since you're allready down there ?

hey thanks for your kind words, mr beely. what can i say, i've got the fever! and they probably will play every song i hate - however, as i mentioned, i'm learning to "love" the baddies. that's why i've been listening to YGMR lately - steeling myself for the inevitable! i've even been practicing my "hey hey" s! i've got a smoking '98 version of Wanna Hold You bangin' out right now, though - that's one I've got nothing but love for. (please play it, keef!)

and open_g, i'm ready to meet for a beer at my local when you are!

you got mail open g

and beely, no seats! (the best way!) and erik, you wanna pay for my train ticket to brussels? and pick me up from the farm . . . i mean, venue?

sorry to say, I'm not in mood to go out for a beer as I got some shattering news tonite from a friend. thats why I'm selling a ticket.

...hang in there nikki, try to get some rest......getting wound up like a coiled spring is no way to prepare for a concert.

Well check out the reviews of Werchter,particularly Keefs condition,and that should bring u back down to earth.
