"People of the world..."
Posted by pete at June 28, 2007 7:24 PM"Every boy and every girl:"
The Spice Girls have confirmed they will reform for a world tour to take place in December and January.
The full line-up has not performed on stage since Ginger Spice Geri Halliwell quit in May 1998.
The 11 dates announced include a London show on 15 December, eight days after the tour begins in Los Angeles.
[...]
The only British date is in London, with the venue not yet confirmed. The other European dates are in Cologne and Madrid.
Yep, the Spice Girls - former Confession Time subject on this very blog - are going back on tour. No Texas dates, mores the pity. Just Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and New York. I have an as-yet unscheduled Vegas trip coming to me, however, and I might be able to convince my traveling companions the weekend of December 8.
I just need to lie and tell them my favorite exotic dancer is at the Cheetah, which has the virtue of being not too far off the mark.
Halliwell added: "For us it's about celebrating the past, enjoying each other and it's about our fans. It was kind of now or never."
In that case, I fully expect this to be part of the night's ensemble:
Yo, I'll tell you what I want. What I really...really want.
My sister’s been scouring the Internet for more information about tickets and I’ll bet beyond any doubt that it’s going to be at the Staples Center here in L.A.
I actually don’t mind going if needed because I like their music. Yeah, their music. Short-skirted, busty music.
So, is it bad form to grovel for an invite to be one of your “traveling companions” in front of your throngs of readers?
I mean, no pressure or anything….
(And to make up for my world-renowned tactlessness, I offer more nice-n-spicy goodness—Sporty a la Emma Peel.
