Not me! :-) No interest at all. If I had to pick a big city it'd be Manchester or Liverpool. "Do you think the only river in England is the Thames?" Oh, I'll do the museums and that sort of stuff in London some day, but on the first visit, I will go straight west or north to visit friends and family. ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 12 Jun 2003 12:42:20 -0500 From: "Amy Rupp" Subject: RE: seven-seas For the Man.

Oh too cool! I'd go just to see proper football, and cheer for Barcelona :-P What is the name of the club Mac played in Philly? One of my work colleagues is from Philly and I was trying to remember what the name was! ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 12 Jun 2003 13:41:19 -0400 From: Peter Charbonneau Subject: RE: seven-seas The Art of Mac aka Mac Art(hur) >Whatcha doing in London??

London is a fabulously wonderfully amazingly and charmingly and awesomely fan-fucking-tastic place....that's why!!! :P But there's a LOT of other places too that are really awesome too. I still have loads to do in London that I haven't crossed off my list yet and I've spent nearly 3 - 4 weeks there already total!! Just too much to do!

I actually want to *live* in England, but for the time being am here. The clash between virtually living in England while physically living in Texas is quite jarring. :-) ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 12 Jun 2003 13:57:05 -0400 From: Red Subject: Re: OTOT seven-seas The Art of Mac aka Mac Art(hur) At 01:38 PM 6/12/03 -0400, you wrote: >Have no fear....

It's sad. >I've heard that the Boston area (though not the LINY area) has >retained more of the British/Irish idiosyncracies than anywhere else >in the country (perhaps through continued heavy immigration). I really like Boston a lot.... finding nights that play good music is slowly but surely getting easier as well. I've talked to some Europeans who remark that boston is a very european city and I take pride in that. Not like I built the city or anything, 'cause that would make me really old... ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ End of seven-seas-digest V2 #434 ********************************
