    No 10C tix for those. But they are usually great shows!

    They played Fuckin' Up in Hartford last year because the band "fucked up the schedule" and missed the Bridge School event. (Eddie's words.) Kinda figured they might make an appearance this year.

    They should have a show in Santa Barbara like they did after Bridge in '03 too

    When I saw the tour dates Bridge School was the first thing I thought of. Was really hoping the timing would fit and it does perfectly. I'd be shocked if they did not play this year. I'd say the dates will be announced in July and the lineup in early September.
    06/22/95, 11/04/95, 11/15/97, 07/16/98, 10/30/99, 10/30/00, 10/31/00, 10/20/01, 10/21/01, 12/08/02, 06/01/03, 06/06/03, 10/25/03, 10/26/03, 09/28/04, 03/18/05, 09/01/05, 07/15/06, 07/16/06, 07/18/06, 07/22/06, 07/23/06, 10/21/06, 10/22/06, 08/28/09, 09/21/09, 09/22/09, 05/20/10, 05/21/10, 10/24/10, 11/26/13, 12/06/13, 06/28/14, 10/26/14, 07/10/18, 08/10/18, 10/02/21,

    I imagine that one hurt especially bad when Tom Waits was added to the line up.

    I may end up disappointed but until then I am operating under the assumption that this is happening.

    Thanks! I am hoping PJ will be there, and I'm also wondering who else is in the line up.

    I saw it on Live Nation, but it could have been last year-didn't think of that! At any rate, I sure hope the line up is announced soon.

    The only thing that gave me pause was that tickets for the BSB have gone on sale on Fridays the last couple of years. That would mean they might go on sale the 12th this year.

    The lineup was announced on September 6th last year, so we definitely should be hearing soon.

    I wonder if Pegi will be involved in any way. :-/

    I think everybody is wondering that at this point.

    I was thinking about that today. I know she's been a huge part of the school for many years. I hope she is still involved.

    I would love if they could broadcast this again on YouTube. Ed played back in 2011. Night 1 was aired. But they didn't broadcast Night 2 on YouTube. :(

    Just checked flights & really dunno I'll be able to do this after all. Flights just too expensive now. Dammit for having the announcement so late :-(

    I'm thinking I may have to miss it this year too-a shame they are taking so long to announce the line up. ):

    Don't lose hope. I haven't done one and would love to go out there this year. Agree, just announce it already.

    Bridge School benefit 2010 was where I first discovered PJ! I have such fond memories of that time! I do hope you can get out there, bootlegger10, because it will be a week-end you will never forget! :)

    A couple posts about donating and asking who should play the Benefit on the Bridge School Facebook page today. I'm thinking we're getting really close to an announcement.

    I don't know why, but I have a feeling Soundgarden might be in the lineup this year.
