At Any Other Time...

Powerline informs us that there's a great opportunity for some enterprising blogger to live-blog Bob Geldof's Live8 festivities next week in Edinburgh, Scotland.

The devil, of course, is in the details - you have to be able to be away from July 3-July 7, and you have to be able to get to and from NYC on your own. It breaks my heart to say "no can do". This time.

On the one hand, the concert would be amazing (including the second-ever Sex Pistols reunion, which would be fantastic to see), and the situation outside the concert (and the G8 summit) would be a prime opportunity to observe the international professional protester set in their native habitat.

Edinburgh in the summer is a magnificent place to visit, by the way.

Blah. Next time. Maybe there'll be an Alarm reunion...
