Spades today

lol just got out of spades and was talking to someone in NY. Hi Raymond. Leave a comment and say hello.

Worlds a small place.

Kate got them

Yep, delivered and resting in Kate's nursing hands, how cool is that.
We're going to see Bob Dylan.
We're going to see Bob Dylan.
We're going to see Bob Dylan. na na na na na. woohoo yeeha
Wish you could be there to make it even better.

Ticket arrival

Al, the Club tickets man emailed me this morning out of the blue to say the tickets are arriving in Monterey this morning. I emailed Kristian and Kate and Kate said that would be fine as she was home to sign for them. How great is that, all sorted in 5 minutes from the other side of the world.
Added some more bits to the blogg to do with the wedding ceremony count down time. lol Some site offer a great service. There will be no moon on the night as the new moon is on the 31st Aug.
Better go to work.

tickets

email Kristian and Kate re ticket delivery. The plan is the tickets will be in Vegas when we get there. Fingers crossed.

Bob Dylan tickets

Had planned for Kate to bring them over with her when she comes back to Bilo. Looks like we will have to pick up the tickets after we get to Vegas (somewhere) as they dont get delivered to Club Tickets until mid August.

Unreal the Dylan will be playing in Vegas the time we're there.

marvels of modern techanology

Emailed Kristian and Kate and within a minute or two Kristian had emailed me back. Amazing to think we can do that for free from two sides of the world in an instant. Imagine what they had to do 100 years ago to achieve that communication.
Anyhow, the real news is Kate will be in Bilo mid August. Which great for another reason too. She will bring Bob Dylan Las Vegas concert tickets back for us. woohoo.

woohoo Bob Dylan in concert

Had a look today and believe it or not Bob Dylan is in Las vegas on the 1st Sept in person. The bad news, tickets will cost us $450 a pair. At least they are the best, or $140 for back row. Emailed the venetian to see if the tickets can be posted there until we pick them up. See what they say.
Started to research how we need to get around. In New York we're staying 3 blocks from Central Park.
