Anyone here going? I'm giving it serious thought and I know of at least 2 others that are as well!

Do you really? Alone?

YAY! If enough of y'all are coming for the show, I'll have to organize some sort of eat meet and great. Hmmm. Grit, Grill, or Weavers....

Hey Petra!
Yes, this time really and alone.
Last year I was married and my husband objected. Now I am single with some holiday time on my hands.

I don't think I actually posted that on here before, did I? Yes, I am getting divorced...I left home last october.

Anything else happening in town that weekend? Travelling in from LA is very tempting, I'd want my first visit to Athens to include being there on April 5 itself so that means a long weekend. More than enough time to do the full REM tour? Is Finster's garden open?

I'll find out what else is going on. Usually there's an Athens Music tour that a friend of mine does, not sure if he's going to do it that weekend. If not, I'd be more than happy to show you the sites. :D

Go for it Martine! I'm sorrry to hear about your divorce, but if it means you can go to Athens then at least there are some positive things to look forward to!
Enjoy yourself with no regrets :D

O, Martine, no, I haven't known that. I'm so sorry for you!

A view into my calendar tells me: it will be VACATION-TIME ;);)  :rolleyes:  :confused:
No, I can't, not again... But THEY will be there, right? Aaaaaaah!

Like last year ;)? Where have you been, Jordan?

Do you already know how to get to Athens from the airport?

Martine said:

For either Paul's or your tour, that is...

Then tell Paul "Viele Grüße von Petra!" :D
