Blackberry to N80, N80 to Blackberry
One of the joys of a email enabled mobile device is checking one's email on the go. It is even more fun if the email exchange* is with someone else with a mobile device and wondering where the other person is as you exchange emails.
Me, owner of a Nokia N80, last night, at Dunne & Crescenzi's in Dublin having dinner with Ruth, her sister Ruby, and friends.
My brother Joe, owner of a Blackberry, yesterday, somewhere in SoCal, most likely Irvine or Huntington Beach, sends off the first email.
I am sitting at Dunne & Crescenzi's and check my email, to see one entitled "Andrea Bocelli Concert" and I can't resist opening it.

they were really expensive floor seats.Love,

Andrea Bocelli? I ask my dinner mates, "Andrea Bocelli, isn't he the Italian guy who sings opera as a solo gig?" So, I email back to Joe:

Joe's Blackberry back:

Social Distortion usually does a whole month of shows at the LA & Anaheim House of Blues, with more shows in San Diego and San Francisco, starting around Dec. 20th and ending mid-January. I went with Joe and his friends this last year and it was a blast. I will definitely go again this year.
Andrea Bocelli? An Italian crossover tenor singing opera at an ice hockey arena? My brother is right, it will be a more than a once in a lifetime event...
Joe, you bought the Bocelli tickets. I'll buy the Social D tickets and then we can go to both in December.
* Email, why not text/sms? Hmmm... that is a whole other post on why I prefer email on my mobile phone rather than texting. I hate texting.

This is a big deal as the boy musta' pulled some strings. Those tix don't even go on sale to the public until Monday....his cd often rotates on the player in the boutique as it helps create a calming environment. Enjoy

What keeps tripping me up is the venue... the Pond... Shouldn't Bocelli be playing the Disney Concert Hall or some similiar venuee that would do justice to the music?
