"Would You Like A Little Cheese With Your Whine?"

Ok, so I am going to bring it up one last annoying time, and then I won't mention it anymore.  Here it is, the timeline from one of the all time great poor planners:



Zucchero's last concert tour, 4 years ago
Zucchero's current tour, started early May 9, 2011.
Zucchero's Italy leg of the tour... now
Europe and Italy until August 4, 2011.

Our trip September 29 to November 2.  Bad timing number 1.

Nomadi's tour season: November 2010-September 11, 2011 (Yes, an entire year.  37 official performances so far in the past 6 months.  There are at least another 31 scheduled for the summer. And this is their way cut back schedule from past years because of the heart attack of their lead singer.)
Did you notice that there are no concerts in October...Yup, good timing number two.

Nomadi's cruise to Spain for fans:  October 26 to November 4, 2011.  Number 3.       

        

OK, now Zucchero's schedule for October?  North America.  Yup, number four.

Now for what set off this rant?  Well, Zucchero's birthday is September 25. I just found out he has added two big concerts at the Arena in Verona for the 25th and 26th, and is inviting a lot of his friends to come perform, including...  Yup, you've got it...  Number five. 

Così vicino, ma così lontano... (so close, but so far away)

I can only hope for Becky's sake I can do better with the train schedules or we may never even get to Italy.
