That's pretty gay, and pretty Stevie, all at once. Perfect.

Well, you know, Strand's got me in that mindset today. First his Great Wall of China pic (God bless you, BTFLCHLD!) then the "who's gonna sleep with the fags" comment.

Of course, if this was 1983, and she was doing those great sets, I MIGHT consider it. But at this point in her career, I've seen her 17 times since 1979, and that's enough for me.

But it wouldn't just be about seeing Stevie! If I could make it work, I'd plan on staying for about a week and only attending one show. The rest of the time I'd try to explore the city and pack in as much touristy stuff as possible. There's so much else to do! I've always wanted to go to Australia... missed an opportunity to go with a school group a few years ago because I didn't have the money. Since then I have never really had an excuse to just pick up and go, either with friends or by myself. It's hard to just randomly plan that kind of thing, especially with other people. But if you do it in the context of some kind of event it gives you something to work around, y'know? Seeing Stevie perform in Australia would be the pretext, but it would be secondary to the actual trip if that makes sense. At least for me.

I think that's the big reason why so many people came from all over for the Dreams "tour." The shows were an excuse to go but in the end Vegas is such a tourist attraction and there's so much to do there that many people make regular trips there or would have liked to go at some point anyway, regardless of whether she was playing.

Oh, and I would only go if the orchestra is really going to be involved or if these shows are somehow different. Otherwise, even though the concert wouldn't be my main focus, I would just save my money and keep the trip on my "list of things to do someday that may or may not ever actually happen" for some other possible occasion when I could spend more time there.

Btw, sorry if I missed it somehow, but what is this about Nov. 7th? I know that's around the time of the Melbourne Cup but has it been announced somewhere that this is when tickets will go on sale or something?

That's what I said but I would still go even if the shows were not different;I don't care what the setlist is just give me stand back and a high kick and I don't want that s****y lucky charms shirt!
