Hey Jeff, this is a VERY dreamy concert!

Jeez...what a moron...didn't even bother to finish the post...

What I meant to say was...

If you could see New Order play a gig at your choice of venue, where would it be? Anywhere in the world, where would you book them?

As I have previously stated, I would most enjoy seeing them play on the island that I will eventually retire to, Cozumel.

Well, true to the brief you set as the title: I DID once dream of New Order playing a gig....in a bloody McDonalds restaurant in London fer chrissakes. But it was funny. Barney and Hooky were completely out of it, stuffing their faces with apple pie, whilst Stephen kept disappearing to the bogs for some reason, and Gillian kept leaving her keyboard to offer little presents to the kids gathered round - quite what she was offering I never found out. But I recall some of the kids crying and screaming so it must have been something really nice.

Anyway, they played three songs I never heard before and then played what sounded like Temptation but they changed the lyrics to utter gibberish, and then when they came back for an encore, some kids started throwing food at them. Needless to say, they never finished the gig but instead Hooky took out his revenge (ha!) by leaping over the counter and trashing the kitchen, spilling chips everywhere. Next thing I remember, we were sitting outside the ruined restaurant and Barney was signing autographs. Using fries as pens. I couldn't remember what happened to Steve and Gillian but Hooky was like, still wrecking the place with his bass guitar and Barney got hold of this little kid and looked like he was going to do something violent.....sadly the dream faded suddenly and I never had a continuation of it. This must have been about three months ago...... So at least it's (relatively) current! So there you go! New Order. Dream gig. Go figure.

Muffy, I can think of few things less sexy than the thought of Hooky pointing his bass at my ass as I'm getting Jiggy. Or Barney whooping everytime you pull off a good move...

i did once dream that I joined a band and was playing the bass. All the press and crowd had come to see me coz of my Hooky style playing. Unfortunately I hadn't got a clue about how to play it so just played one note over and over again, waving it around round my knees 'ooky style

I wouldn't mind reducing them in size and watching them play live on the end of my nose. That way, I could see them and get on with some work.

Saying that, if I sneezed I'd probably destroy the drum kit.

Now, now, Huntsy, you know how I get when people start editing their posts!

By the way, Jeff, I've been wondering this for a long time: was that true about the FBI?

I think Jeff's left the building. I hope not though as I have a question for him about the GameCylinder machine.

The FBI??? What the hell...did I make another drunken post that I have forgotten about???

And dear Mr. Huntsman...where do you come up with this stuff??? There are times I think, you know, I'd really love to go have a couple of beers with this guy, but then I realize, I'd just end up snorting beer out of my nose and pissing in my pants, and that just isn't a very pretty picture, now is it?

Wasn't it you, Jeff, who posted a long time ago that FBI agents were waiting for you when you got home after you had posted something here? I just wondered if it was true. I guess if you don't remember then it probably wasn't.

Oh Hell Patrick...yes...that was a while back, when I suggested to S that we lock April and Liv up...sorry, I've been drunk and slept several times since then...

and the part about the FBI was indeed fabricated...

as you know by now, I sometimes embelish the facts with a few fanciful tidbits...that one, the order being confirmed to do a show on my porch, and so on and so on...

I think I'll go get a beer now!
