I finished my Christmas shopping on schedule, before noon, and am quite satisfied with my choice of presents. I tend to spend more time looking for things that I like when I hit the shops and malls before the holidays. Thus I try to select gifts over the Internet to avoid the crowds. But I was disciplined this morning and assembled a stack of goodies at Borders without even buying anything for myself (aside from a couple of magazines).
On the way home, though, I stopped at Best Buy to pick up a store exclusive: a DVD/CD package documenting the recent reunion tour by The Police. I saw the band in its Hartford stop during the summer of 2007. This release is from a concert recorded in Buenos Aires later on the tour. The sound is terrific and I really like the behind-the-scenes documentary--which was filmed by Stewart Copeland's son--included on the DVD.
