Right now I'm listening to the White Album while I'm studying for my test...Too bad I can't listen to music while I work, b.c then I would be totally prepared for tomorrow...i can go through all my Paul/Beatle CD's.
-
Have fun studying. That's the one thing I DON'T miss about college. Now I've moved onto the Back In The US CD... JET!

I won't be on the computer again until after the concert. It will be on Friday. I should have no problem getting to the Spaghetti Works by 3 PM. Did you see the bit on KCCI about getting there by 6:30 PM so they can get everyone in and be ready for Sir Paul? Then they said cell phones are allowed. I loved the banners they have at Wells Fargo. I'm going to try to park at the venue and take pictures of the banners and of us at the Spaghetti Works and then take the camera back to the car. I had a change of plans. I will now be staying with a child hood friend on the street in Des Moines where I grew up and I am excited about that, too. My friend said we probably won't sleep all night! Her husband is a big Wings fan and I didn't tell him what he's in for.

Hope to see you, maccascruff, after all these years on the board!! We'll be at S.W. between 3-4 and still want to get to the arena early!

I definitely want to get to the Arena early, Seuss. What's with all the names they are calling the Wells Fargo Arena in the paper in 2 cents worth? Don't people like it? I think it looks beautiful, but one of my aunts went to something there and said she froze. I don't think I will have that problem.

Hi everyone... Hi Suess, Jeremy Hilary Boob, maccascruff... I've followed the boards for a long time and almost seem to know a few of you although I've never posted. I TRIED to register almost a month ago to get in on some of the last minute chat and news, but they didnt approve my registration until today, the day before the concert! I'm a huge Paul fan and I'll hopefully meet a few of you at the Spagehetti Works if I can get in town on time and I'll definately be around the boards from now on to chat Paulstuff. Right now, I'm listening to "Trippin' the Live Fantasic", Pauls live CD from his 1990 world tour in preperation for the concert. I saw him in Ames that year and it Rocked! I plan on another almost spiritual experience with tomorrow's concert. Peace and Love

Oh, I love Trippin the Live Fantastic!!! It came out my freshmen year of college, and I got it on cassette bc I didn't have a CD player at the time. I played it so often the tape broke, and I took it back to the music store and paid the difference in cost to get it on CD then. They were happy to do that, and said it probably broke because it was a long album, and too much for that format (tape). I think repetitive play might have been a factor.
Anyway, I saw Paul's New World Tour in Las Cruces NM in 93 (my college years). I never dreamed I might see him live again, and now I am headed to the DM show. Driving drown tomorrow from northern Iowa! Have a great time everyone!!!!!

Nice to hear from you Whizzard!!! I can't believe it...only 1 more night!!!! I made some "Macca" tapes to listen to in my car for the drive to Des Moines. With my luck I'll wake up in the morning with a flat tire or a dead battery!!!!
I 'm looking foward to meeting everyone, and putting faces with members!!!

Hello all agian, I've been very busy lately and haven't been on here in quite a bit. I'm getting ready to leave KC in like an hour so it looks like I'll miss the Spaghetti Works deal but hopefully I'll meet a person or two from here. My seats are second section floor front row seats 5,6 so if you see a guy in a No More Land Mines tshirt thats me in that area, who knows there may be more than one of us with that shirt on.
HAVE A GREAT TIME AT THE SHOW EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last night's show in DSM was unbeliveable! I wasn't sure what to expect, and everything i had imagined the show to be, was surpassed. Paul and friends played for nearly 3 hours to a sold-out crowd. Double-encore was fantastic. Equally fantastic was the stage and light show. I have never seen anything like it before at any concert. Absolutely unbelievable! The astounding Sir Paul took some time at the end of the show to Thank his many stage hands (140), sound guys and 'most importantly'...you! I'll take this moment to thank god, Liverpool and England for harvesting an unparalleled performer that is...Paul McCartney. Long live music! Long live the Beatles! Long live Paul McCartney! Thank YOU for putting on a show that my wife and i will be talking about for years to come! Come back anytime SIR PAUL! (and friends)
