Advice needed: Should I go to Milwaukee?

I have 10c tickets for both Chicago shows, and I was not planning on going to Milwaukee as I had a prior committment which prevented me from going. Turns out that my prior obligation fell through, and I am free tomorrow night.

My question is: Do I go to Milwaukee or not? I don't have a ticket, not to mention, are three Ed solo shows to repetitive? Do I wait for the Chicago shows and be happy, or hope the third time is a charm?

Advice????

    I went to two and was perfectly content without seeing another. Don't get me wrong I loved both shows, but they are too similar for me to go to more than that.

    In a word: yes. You will only kick yourself if you don't. I originally bought 10c tix for montreal just in case i got shut-out for toronto, as it happens i got all the shows i wanted and was also facing your dilema. But I took in both montreal shows and both Toronto shows and they were all slightly different in some respect: songs, audience vibe and ed's vibe. I have no regrets.

    Again, I highly recommend you see the extra shows.

    Do you really need to start a post about this? You really need our advice as whether you should go to the show or not. I say "No" and let someone who can make up there own mind go to the show...
    Maybe if you decide to go then you can put up a post asking if anyone thinks you should get a babysitter to hold your hand on the way to the concert...then maybe ask us if you should eat "streetmeat" or "Pizza" while you attend the show...

    Good luck!

    Just looking for opinions for those who've already attended the shows. Now please make like a tree, and "leaf".
