We met Peter Buck's wife working in a bar, saw all their houses, and then ran into Michael Stipe. Twice. Heaven!<BR/><BR/>But as I said to Sue, 80% of my life is made up of geek moments, so I'd probably sit here all day listing them. :)Nikki Staffordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04463618183850438914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-28768508529828161332007-07-06T11:14:00.000-04:002007-07-06T11:14:00.000-04:00Crissy: I'm so glad to hear the show was awesome. ...Crissy: I'm so glad to hear the show was awesome. My bro and hubby will be at the London show tomorrow night. <BR/><BR/>Kris: Oh man, I can't believe I didn't even mention all the conventions I've been to! Weird how I didn't even think of going to a sci-fi convention as being geeky! D'oh... <BR/>Oh, and my first REAL crush was when I was 5 and I saw Star Wars for the first time, and I told my parents on the way home that I was going to marry Luke Skywalker. <BR/><BR/>fb: I totally remember those pac-man cards that you scratched! I bought some but didn't collect them. I bow to your music geekery ANY day. You are my music fandom goddess.Nikki Staffordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04463618183850438914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-1093298670975026552007-07-06T10:03:00.000-04:002007-07-06T10:03:00.000-04:00i collected pac-man and ms pac man cards (they had...i collected pac-man and ms pac man cards (they had the awful pink gum, a sticker and a replica screen of the videogame, where you scratched off circles to let pac man move around the board). <BR/><BR/>music geekery: um ... i've followed U2 to ireland. and new york. and london. and germany. and montreal. i haven't missed a U2 show in toronto since 1987, i think i've seen them 21 times, including 6 times on their last tour, plus live8. (oh yeah ... live8. flying to england for just over 24 hours to go to that is way up there in my hard core geekage.)<BR/><BR/>more music geekery: there is not a single thing about duran duran that you could ask me that i wouldn't know. (although after seeing JT during the concert for diana on sunday, i admit my love is waning ... he looks like keith richards's protege ...) my room was plastered with their posters -- ceiling, walls, you name it. not a square inch of paint to be seen. scrapbooks, buttons, tshirts, hats, stickers, mugs ... every tacky accessory that declared my love, i had to have. i'm a card-carrying member of their fan club, and while i haven't followed them around as extensively as U2, i've seen them about 15 times, including a front row centre show in new york last november (to their credit, it was absolutely awesome).<BR/><BR/>book geekery: harry potter. i think the less said about that, the better! <BR/><BR/>TV geekery: roswell. 'nuff said. ;-pAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-57051199009813938522007-07-06T09:50:00.000-04:002007-07-06T09:50:00.000-04:00I also had a big, horrible crush on Bo Duke!

Oh, my, I *loved* that show.<BR/><BR/>But my big, totally geek moment was going to a Star Trek Convention was I was a junior in high school. Yes, I did it. And it was a blast! No dressing up. Just wanting to see what it was all about...this was the first season of "Star Trek: TNG." Marina Sirtis was there (Counselor Troi). I went with two nerdy, Asian twin friends of mine.Kris Etonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822791622754789365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-47741494339293253252007-07-06T09:11:00.000-04:002007-07-06T09:11:00.000-04:00toronto white stripes show was great last night. p...toronto white stripes show was great last night. packed crowd, happy crowd. they played a good mix of stuff over the albums, some hits, some new stuff i didn't know. highlight for me was Jolene and when Meg sang that cold,cold night song. Doorbell was of course fun too. Next time you'll be there with (door)bells on. :)Crissy Calhounhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12649031326901904608noreply@blogger.com
