808 State Discussion

Collected my refund for december 16 (Melkweg), and just bought tickets for the event in Brussels. 22 years of New Order, and Hooky added, enough reasons to travel to Brussels (again).

C U There!

Thanx for this update, maybe I should go to Brussels then. @ december 15 it will be 22 years ago since I first saw New Order........

[quote="markus"]Oh dear, according to the Melkweg site, the Amsterdam gig has been cancelled. Anyone know why?[/quote]

Markus, I have no idea. Have to get a refund again then, this is getting a habbit (which I don't like, see www.myspace.com/edmcpike). I hope they come up with a new date.

Would love to see Trentemoller, but that's on sunday, not an option for me this time. But Guru was cancelled yesterday, with the refund I bought tickets for Underworld. They will play @HMH in november.

Personal reasons according to Peter Hook. Can happen I suppose.
Still it's a shame, would have loved to see them again. Was aiming for 10 live gigs, now its 8 out of 10 for me.

But there is good news, because there is a new dvd coming up.
So, what's my new goal in life, now that it is 'official' ?

Markus,

Went to Absolute Music party last week in Rotterdam.
Went there to see Peter Hook, performing as dj.
His set was ok, but tough competition.
Check his story at www.myspace.com/peterhookneworder

Anyway, I met Peter, made a little conversation, which was nice.

cu in amsterdam somewhere?

'sjips' Wrong topic, Markus, can U help me out? Was ment for 'upcoming events in Amsterdam'! Anyone been to Mike Pickering @NDSM on 28th? Attended New Order @Wembley friday 27th (nice 808-tune and other Manchester-stuff between Maximo Park and New Order), came back saturday in the afternoon. Found ...

Last time when I saw Bez on the stage he was 'singing' along with New Order, bad attempt. But it was New Year (Ally Pally) so.......
Would have been nice to see the Hap's again, but couldn't get 1 day off !

Markus,
I hope ACR was a bit more of a 'high-key' event?!
I enjoyed Kriterion anyway, doesn't happen that much that you actually meet someone who also attended cities-in-the-park.
