Even the nights are better -- thanks to this tour

Could it be? Have all the cosmic clickers finally nudged into place? Are the spirits of all girlfriends-gone-bad finally beginning to exorcise themselves? Is Taco Bell's drive-thru now open 24 hours? It must be because ...

Air Supply is going on a world tour! Get your pink cashmere sweaters out of storage and start regrowing your poofy hairdos.

Of course, when I say "world tour" what I really mean is a bunch of gigs at The Orleans Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas starting May 22, with a bunch of other dates scattered around in between. (None in Florida.) But still.

Now don't start acting like you're all high and mighty and don't love these guys. That just belittles us all. Instead, just go dig out their greatest-hits CD buried deep in your closet (next to the velour shirts) and use your headphones. It will be our secret. Our "Lost in Love" secret.

By the way, a little trivia here. The official name of the Air Supply fan club? The Airheads. No kidding. Some things you just can't make up.

Oh My GOD! Talk about DREAMY with a capital D!!! When I was in college, this terrible girl (my bestie at the time) and I decided to start a lip syncing club. Entry to the club would depend on an audition to Air Supply. While the idea of the club was grandiose and well-developed, it never got off the ground for some reason. But when I think of Air Supply - even to this day - I think of make believe singing.

I see that San Diego gets the coveted Air Supply/Christopher Cross double bill - color me jealous!

Thanks, Spearsy, now I can't get "I'm All Out of Love" out of my head/

[Marissa]

I'm more of a "Here I Am" sort of gal. It has great impact when you leave a message at 2:30 am on an ex boyfriend's voice mail after you've been drinking double shot margaritas for hours. So I'm told.

I'm wiping the tears from my eyes. There is a god!

[Mike in Austin]

Does this mean another road trip? I'm not all out of loud, I have much more to give.

[Spears]

I'm thinking I should just move the Stuck in the 80s empire to Vegas. It'd save me a ton of money.

[Mike in Austin]

I really think another road trip is needed. However, before I jump the gun, SIT80's Season I: Regeneration Tour must be executed with memorable and sizable fanfare. I know I can facilitate such a task.

SIT80's Season II: Lost in Love Tour, complete with us wearing a fro like wig ala the singer from Air Supply. Heck, the wig can actually be a homage to Willie Aames, that dude from The Great American Hero, Dione Warwick, Joanie loves Chaci hero Erin Moran and the list goes on.......

Oh SIT80's BLOG GOD, I call upon: Jane the Research Babe to find us black from type wigs that we can wear to the Air Supply Concert....can you hear me, can you hear me calling.....

Mike, you've lost your mind. This whole thing seems to be spinning out of control. Oy vey!

[jane]

MinA, my brother:

This is what I've come up with so far. Yes, it's a chick wig. But with a trim and some styling products, I think it might meet your specifications:

JG, my sister from anuder mudder,

I am laughing my ... off! The dew will not only work but can double as a mulletish type wig.

If and if we pull off SIT80's II: Lost in Love, I'll wear that bad boy to the show. By Excalibur I swear it!

I've added the link to my favs!

Mucho gracias, agave it is!

MinA... you are a crack up! I sooo want to be in Vegas, but it's not looking too good right now.

So, here is my task for you... Pictures Mike, plenty of pictures!! I'll let you know where to send them! LOL

[Marissa]

So, yeah. What I'm thinking is that y'all have to call Carla and I so we can be there in spirit with audio. Yeah. And pictures. Loads of them. Although, I don't think I want to have visual for *everything*.

[Marissa]

Oh, and Air Supply will be playing in Illinois at the end of this month. A 3 hr drive at the Par-A-Dice Casino. Sorry, that just sort of makes me chuckle.

[Gary]

Have you all gone mad? Don't look into the light. It's the siren song...it's pure EVIL!! I have the antidote for Air Supply... Immediately turn on Van Halen's PANAMA and crank it to 11... Run! Now!! Before it's too late.

[Mike in Austin]

Sorry brother Gary, I'm an Air Supply fan. Even a Culture Club, Adam AND the Ants fan. You have a beautiful family, thanks for your civil service.

I have been a very long time fan and VERY PROUD to be an AIRHEAD. Just take a look at the photos. They happen to be the greatest show in Vegas when they're here. And the greatest show where ever they are playing. I'm proud to say I've been to over 100 shows just in the last 12 years. Most in one year was 21. And I've traveled cross country to see them.

[Emily]

I do like Air Supply. Even though they haven't lived in Oz for years, you'd have to say they are one of Australia's most successful bands?

[Devoted2as]

Eh, the pink sweaters and puffy hair was more from the early 60's, not really the 80's, as I remember it, but the look was kind of cute!
