Duran Duran Appreciation Day

What are the chances: John and Simon in Kansas City

Not every musical act and fanbase has their own holiday meant just for appreciating a favorite band. But every Aug. 10, it's Duran Duran Appreciation Day. We Duranies are a lucky lot.

So to mark Duran Appreciation Day, I'm going to offer up some more photos from the summer tour, taken in St. Paul and Kansas City by my ever-talented husband, Chris Windle.

There is more in store for DD Appreciation Day. DDHQ, as always, had a few surprises up their collective sleeves. And Durandy, Andrew Golub, unveiled his new book of Duran concert ads, "The Music Between Us."

Here's my look back at the "Paper Gods" tour:

Shadows on their side: Simon and crew in St. Paul
