true, but i really really dislike u2 :/ i don't need to listen to bono sing about how beautiful the day is. (reminds me of the kongesawa (sp?) show where polly was talking about U2's titles and how they're good at using everyday phrases for song titles. always cracks me up)

Lisbon is SOLD OUT.
Additional date on May 26th. http://www.ticketline.pt/Home.aspx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Rah!

I mean, sorry if you wanted a ticket and didn't get one, but the faster these sell out the more likely there will be more shows, yes? Closer to where the rest of us are?

(Like over here! )

Wave harder! Maybe THEN she'll notice!

with shows scheduled in Europe for February and May, it seems likely that they're planning for shows in America (and perhaps elsewhere too) in the intermediate period (March-April).

Release of a full itinerary would be nice is all....*kicks dirt* /impatient/jealous of all you Europeans

I also wish to know the full itinerary ASAP. damnit, without knowing the full touring schedule it's so hard (nay, practically impossible) to make good plans, which particular shows to go to.

now that there's a 2nd show scheduled for Lisbon, it looks like the pattern from February (two shows in each location) will repeat itself in May.

25th May: Lisbon, 1st show
26th May: Lisbon, 2nd show
28th May: city X, 1st show (yet to be announced)
29th May: city X, 2nd show (yet to be announced)
31st May: Amsterdam, 1st show
1st June: Amsterdam, 2nd show (yet to be announced)

it seems rather safe to bet on a couple of shows in Spain (Madrid or Barcelona?) immediately before Lisbon.

but between Lisbon and Amsterdam, which do you think would be city X?

Odense, DK!
Polly 'Storyteller' Harvey, come 'home'!

(no, seriously )

(no, but not so seriously:)

ever heard of the (less well known) storyteller Hans Christian Harvey?
could you imagine Polly (his unknown descendant) coming to explore her ancestral roots in Odense?

I most certainly could - and surely believe she should...
I mean what's Copenhagen (and their posh opera house) compared to the cradle of modern fairytales and storytelling?!?!
Not much...
(think i'll text her this mornin' jst to remind her ('Come home, to ur son, TOMORROW MIGHT NEVER COME'))

Copenhagen is where I saw Polly (live in reality) for the first time and it happened at the opera house, which is why I find it rather hard to agree on saying anything disparaging about the place, however... if she should come to Odense, I would surely not spend more time in Copenhagen than it takes to get on the next train to "Odin's shrine".
(yeah, travelling like a faithful follower of Polly-theism.)

weren't they supposed to start selling tickets for the Amsterdam 30th May show today? but so far nothing has happened. (at least there's no sign of it on the Live Nation website.)
