Isaac's blog.  Who's he complaining about now?  Why should everyone in the world conform to his culture and let us all count the number of times he uses the word "ass."

Who is going to tell this idiuninteresting man that where HE lives water that he considers PURE always comes with a vomit-causing taste of chlorine???

I prefer carbon hydrate!!!

Is Isaac still going on ? I'd be bored stiff seeing the show every night that it's on, especially with so little variation (if any) in the set list.

This does seem like the never ending tour - just when you think it's about to wind up, then it's onto another 'European' town.

Well, as Isaac planned to attend the complete tour it shouldn't be astonishing that he is still ... going on.

However, some harsh words have been said here. Of course, I also read more than enough times the word "ass" in every variation, but after all, it is his blog, he can do what he want, and I think it is still great to read how much information he puts into it about the cities, the hotels, the living, the shows and the audiences. Writing 100 different entries about 100 more or less identical shows is not that easy. If you look how short Richards entries are (had coffee, went to the gym, great show, great audience, back to the hotel, nightinight), it is really some great effort Isaac takes. And Richard has a very much more luxurious way of travelling. Of course, Isaac seems to be a very thin-skinned and sensible person, very much caring about his "comfort-zone", but reading one person's blog should only be possible through ecactly that same person's eyes. And sometimes he has a good humour in it, and some good irony.

Just my two cents.

Agree, Love Expresso.
But...
If you enjoy and have the time reading his boredom, do it.
This is an MK forum, not an IS forum...
And if people enjoy reading about queueing for donuts or disliking mineral water: good for them!
I rather stay with the music and what the people DOING THAT have to say...

I think Isaac's blog gave so much flavor to this tour.I really respect him for what he is doing,I usually get a coffee and start reading everyday.It is my personal opinion but I really enjoy reading all those things he comes up with and usually have a good laugh.I had a few blogs myself ,and read quite a lot of them on daily basis and believe me it's not that easy to do what Isaac does everyday.I only had the chance to attend only one concert this tour and that was my first but with Isaac updating us every day through his blog and twitter I feel like I am at every concert! And besides the concerts , he also writes about his experiences and all those wonderful (and not so wonderful) places he visits! I am definitely going to visit Italy :P Cheers

When I first started reading Isaac's blog, it was purely to see what he thought of the various concerts he was attending and scrolled down to that particular part of his blog.   Then I was drawn in to reading the rest of the blog when he was at the concerts I attended, to see what his impressions were of those towns and if they matched up to my own.   I'm afraid that was when I became hooked!   Yes, as I have already said, sometimes I disagree with his views and he gets things wrong some of the time, but I still enjoy reading, just as I do Guy and Richard's diaries!    :)

As I said, sometimes he gets things wrong, notably, "the Swiss speak three languages, Italian, French and Swiss"!    ???
