• Andy Summers moves to Santa Monica in March

• in early April Sting finishes his US tour - there's a week off which he probably spends in Los Angeles.

There's a premiere for Stormy Monday that week, followed by next day's video shoot for They Dance Alone at the former Chaplin studios and a platinum record presentation for ...Nothing Like The Sun - the next day Sting will fly to Europe (Rome!) - this information is from Tele - May 2, 1988

(the last US gig was on 1988-04-02 - the first European gig was on 1988-04-16)

• Spanish mag from around May - 2 days before starting a European tour Sting recorded two new videos and did several interviews for TV ---- he was interviewed in Malibu for the magazine and they say he just came from a short family vacation in Aspen

• Stewart Copeland and Miles Copeland attended an Outlandos Trust charity event at the Houses of Parliament in London in May - "absolutely diabolical weather"

• Andy Summers will stay in the United States from July to December - to work on a personal project

• August 6, 1988 in Billboard - upcoming photo exhibition "20 pictures on a wall" at Record World's Square Circle store in Brooklyn ( https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Billboard/80s/1988/BB-1988-08-06.pdf )

(famous parents there!)

• in late September or early October Stewart Copeland flew from New York to London (Outlandos newsletter from September / October 1988 mentions that Stewart arrived coming from New York - the newsletter itself also mentions Sting's birthday as an event from the past, that's why "last week" could be either the end of September or early October)
