Re: Has anyone here met Karl or Rick in person?
I remember that! The trophy was from Nickole of the dirtylist, who had given Karl a snowglobe of Chicago to welcome them to their first gig here in 1998. Someone who met UW early on the 1999 tour joked that she had a bowling trophy ready for them the next time around. She decided that the fishing version was more appropriate.
I didn't say much to either Rick or Karl, except to thank Karl for his comment about Manchester. (He had observed during the show that "Chicago is like Manchester...and if you know Manchester, you know what I'm talking about," which as both a proud resident of my adopted city and a huge Factory/New Order fan, I considered a great compliment to both cities.) Very friendly guys, both of 'em. All smiles.
Has anyone been in touch with Nickole? I used to bump into her at various shows, but haven't seen her in years. Wonder how she's doing?
