Indeed.

Some Goldie Lookin Chain-style pisstake false news should be the way forward.

eg: VICTORIA Beckham is working on a new solo album with bad-boy rockers The Wildhearts. The former Spice Girl and husband of England star David's debut long-player Fed Up, features a track features a song that lays into celebrity shagger Rebecca Loos.
The song called "Cheap Tricks" lambasts Beckham's former au pair branding her "a money grabbing liar."

(The GLC once did a fake news item about doing a duet with Charlotte Church if I recall.....)

time zones from NYC to LA

Well, the time zones work with you on the way from east to west so you can leave NYC and arrive in LA only about 2 hours clock time later. It does tend to tire one out a bit, though.

I'd suggest that with the tour schedule they have recently completed, NY to LA will be a walk in the park. At least they'll get food, drink and sleep on the plane if they choose to do so. Done East to West and vice versa many times myself.

Come on guys, how about a Detroit date as well?!

I'll even help with the Street team!

as many as possible.. please! I want this to be a big tour!

although I must say I am pretty committed to these two NYC shows no matter how much closer to Regina they come.

Girlfriend and I got our tickets yesterday. We'll be at both shows and another couple, my best friend and his girlfriend, will be joining us for only the club show. All my other converts are in debt or have conflicting work schedules.

The Wildhearts will be playing Fat City in San Francisco on the 23rd October.

Tickets are on sale now from

Get them quick and we'll see you at the show!!

This is looking like the final US date.

Thanks

The Wildhearts

OK. so I'm taking the Amtrak train there because Amanda would rather be on a train than a plane, and doesn't want to drive 13 hours to Minnesota, she'd rather go 5 hours to Minot to catch the train.

Anyways, the tickets are purchased. That part is done!

Accomodations. What do I say? Fuckin' ripoff! I can't seem to find a hotel in Manhattan even under $200/night. Any ideas, anyone?

NYC Hotels

Doesn't seem promising. Even the old Pioneer Hotel on Broome St is up at $180 a night now. Used to be quite possible to get a room there at $60 or so. Or HoJos by Penn Station for $80 odd.

Hotwire had nothing to offer, you could try Priceline.

Hoboken is cheaper, but I'm not sure you'd end up anywhere desirable, alot of the hotels are basically out by the turnpike.

EDIT: http://www.sohotel-ny.com/rooms_rates.htm $139? Close to the East Village nightlife, otherwise a real "experience" to stay at.

Missed the boat?

Postby Nomad » 27th Aug 07, 07:24

Have I missed the boat on this cuise malarky? Ticketweb doesn't explicitly say sold out, but it doesn't show any available either. Mrs was keen to come along for that.

Is there anyone more in the know about these things around?

EDIT: Just seen the other post titled "Sold Out"... Anyone think of a way I can still get on board? Maybe they need barstaff for the night...

I'm gonna have to check this one out on the map. If it's reasonably close I will leap at the opportunity to get a room that........uh........."cheap". No sense paying less just to be so far away that it's a $40 cab ride to the show, right?

But thanks very much for the suggestion, I hope it proves to be the right place for us. I've had a couple relatives in teh industry looking for me, and they came up empty.

According to Myspace bulletins, the Cruise is upgraded to a bigger boat to fit new demand (so there you go, no need to try to sneak onboard) and theres a Seattle show to finish off the Tour....
