Cryptic Request Of The Day:
For anyone who has seen Duran Duran at the following shows, I would love to hear from you directly with a brief, heartfelt memory or reflection from the concert.
I would prefer to have more of YOU in the memory as opposed to what physically happened - i.e. what you felt when the band took the stage, why the memory will stay with you forever.
The critical, challenging part: It would be great if contributions remain on the shorter side (ideally the size of a long Tweet or a brief paragraph) but I don't mean to stifle the writing process. Just please keep in mind: less is more. Unlike poster collecting.
Thank you very much!
