Ref, which shows are you going to?

You are going to relive your 80s escapades i hear.

Har Har Har. I prefer the tribute band we saw open for the Knobs than the real thing, LOL!

So did Barb, Gina, Ames and Sharon. Ask them about "a roll of quarters". ;)

^ HAHAHAHA! I'd take that Diamond Dave anyday! He was a riot. I think Barb was in love, LOL!

My husband and I have a bet going to see if they'll make it through the whole tour. I would love to go...but WOW! the ticket prices are outrageous! It certainly won't be the same without Michael's harmonies. :(

I'll be going with the hubby. Linda, why can't you live closer? We could send the boys off to the show and then have a nice dinner and shopping. HAHA

I guess it does depend on the ticket prices. Ours is listed on our new arena's website but it doesn't even say when they go on sale yet.

[Yuppie]

I wouldn't go, you couldn't pay me enough, but my hubby wants to see them, Get Mike on bass and maybe.
