Thanks! The only thing killing me is no cameras... I'm such a slave to my pictures. Only way I can preserve my memories in my brain!

Just woke up (2am here) to see if I have an email in my box from sting.com. don't know what time the drawing is, but I'm not getting too much sleep. Just put me out of my misery! michelle In a message dated 2/8/07 7:08:36 PM, pashdown(a)xmission.com writes: > We all know where the "hard core fans" of The Police hang out though. ;-) > > > > begin:vcard > fn:Pete Ashdown > n:Ashdown;Pete >

the "contest" even made CNN

http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/Music/02/08/music.thepolice.ap/index.htm l LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- The Police, who are reuniting to perform at the Grammy Awards on Sunday, will celebrate their 30th anniversary at the Whisky A Go Go the following day. To enter the drawing for a spot at "The Police Rehearsals," fans must be "legacy members" of Sting's official Web site, Sting.com, the 55-year-old singer announced in a posting Wednesday. Twenty lucky winners will be notified Friday. "After the event, we would like the winners to each submit to us 250 words that describes their experience of the day -- we can say with some certainty that none of you will be lost for words!" the announcement said. Sting fanned speculation of a Police reunion and tour when he told the Television Critics Association last month that he and former bandmates Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers were "talking about" doing something to commemorate their anniversary. The Police, whose hits include "Roxanne" and "Every Breath You Take," will open the Grammys, which will air live on CBS-TV from the Staples Center on Sunday night. The band broke up in 1984 amid internal conflict. They last performed together in 2003, when they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Police press conference on Monday!
by Marisa M 08 Feb '07

08 Feb '07

Hello everyone, I'm coming out of a very long lurk mode to report what I just heard about 20 minutes back: I was driving home, and the DJ on Chicago's radio station WXRT announced that our boys will be giving a press conference in Los Angeles on Monday, at a place called "Whiskey" (not sure if I got the venue name right - can anyone from LA confirm?) That's all he said, other than speculating, like all of us have, that a reunion tour announcement is in the wings. He did not mention what time this will take place. Wow, I haven't been this excited about anything Police-related in a long time! Now let's just hope concert ticket prices aren't through the roof! - Marisa http://www.stingetc.com --------------------------------- Check out the all-new Yahoo!

i agree with u Krapola! Can u immagine wich stress to get tickets? And how far the stage will be? 10 concerts should be perfect!! ---- Messaggio originale---- Da: krapola(a)shaw.ca Data: 2-feb-2007 9.16 AM A: "Sting"<police(a)mailman.xmission.com> Ogg: [Police] I hope they don' t Tour Not because I fear an age of geriatrics or think they will be lame. They will in fact be awesome. But I don't want the stress of spending the dough or deciding which city or budgeting etc. ~r. _______________________________________________ Police mailing list Police(a)mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi- bin/mailman/listinfo/police

Anna Nicole smith died? Just saw a little blurb when I signed on. That poor woman had such a messed up, sad life. Now what about the baby she just had. And I think I have problems trying to figure out how (and how many times) I can see the Police... Michelle
