Re: Who's going to Paris 9-26-09??

With this years concert in Paris being a different venue, its difficult to say what the crowd will be like. The first year was a mixture of europeans (mostly us british) along with a few who had made the journey from the US. Last year there was more of what you would expect at a Buffett concert, com...

:D Me too Me too :D We got tickets for Jimmy back in May. Would be nice if he showed up with Jake. That would really make up for missing him at Nissan. :lol: Jake is a good show by himself. He was at House of Blues in New Orleans a couple years ago before Jazzfest. Where do you tailgate in Paris? C...

Re: The future of healthcare in the US?

I guess I don't understand enough about what is proposed, as things are very different on this side of the pond..... But why do I only hear bad things about what these changes will do - what about all those people who are not able to afford healthcare at the moment - surely it will be better for the...

Re: Life On Mars - ABC TV Series

The UK series will finally be available in the US on DVD, July 28. Amazon shows a price of $44.99 hopefully that price will drop a bit soon. I've heard the UK series was very good. Does that price cover series 1 and 2? You can pick up Series 1 here for £9, which is about $15. It wouldnt take long t...

Re: If I had the money I would . . .

I cannot say that I am unhappy at the moment, but if the money was there, I would have liked to fly my BN friends to London for what was one h*ll of a concert!
