Hope you had a good trip, we fly home tonight. I will be 43 in a few weeks and so far the only time I have been asked for ID was when entering Terminal 5 where they were checking everyone.

Sixth show in as many years (2x in 2008 covers the no Pogues year 2010). I'll say it was the best performed one of the lot. Spot on all the way through. We were waaay up top, on the rail of the third floor looking down on the chaos of the floor - too old for that stuff - and enjoyed every second of it. Thank you Pogues.

I believe you can find photos here if I did this right

Jeers to the douchebag in front of me who chucked a full drink at Mr. C as he came on stage.

None of it actually reached me, which makes him a double douchebag.

That's Alcohol Abuse!!

Had a nice (crushed) almost front rail center view - missed Spider's getting tray by 2 people.

Might be naive (or never payed attention), but I had always assumed that crowd surfers get ejected from a venue when the bouncers get ahold of them.....but I saw a same bald guy in a Boston Celtics jersey surf up to the front 4 times....once during the opener, 3 times during the Pogues (one of which came over me).

Though the rituals of crowd-surfing remain mysterious to me after 34 years, my understanding is the security guys are complicit only in the safe passage of the surfer to dry land. I don't think they consider crowd-surfing a capital offence, as a rule.

just another way to enjoy humanity and nature at the same time. just approach the two biggest dudes you can find together and ask them to put you up

last show i attended was st. patrick's day in new york. got to see a couple of old navy buddies and show them the band i'd been bumping all hours of the night on board or any fucking time i could. got to watch and hear you jam one more time. without realizing what it was i was in the moment. and then on saint paddy's?! AND IN NEW YORK?!

i still cry every now and then over a lot of this and a lot of what came from everything here

i still shed tears for the famine :*)

Seven years gone, my how the time flies.
