Somewhere Back in Time

My birthday today. Thirty-seven, if it makes a difference to you.

I'm having a coffee, Nik's in on the computer, and I decide to have a look at the paper. Not the newspaper, so much as the entertainment insert. Like most people my age (and younger, I'm reminded), I can't be bothered with real news, and get most of my information via The Daily Show.

So I'm there, still a bit groggy, and I see on the cover of the "paper" - IRON MAIDEN DOWN UNDER.

Heh?

Flipping furiously through the paper, I find (on the last page) that Iron Maiden are, indeed, coming to Australia for the first time in fifteen years. This is exciting on its own, but... they're apparently only doing songs from the mid- to late-80s, which is when I saw them last. It's like time-travel. In fact, they're calling it the Somewhere Back In Time tour, in reference to their late-80s album, "Somewhere In Time".

Tickets go on sale September 27th at 9am.

There's a 9am now?
