What can we do in Texas re: tours?

Tenzing N.

NPR had a segment regarding the impact of the proposed legislation in AZ and the effect that has had on groups touring there (or Not touring there as is the case). So I was interested if the band has ever stated a specific reason why they have avoided the state of Texas (among others). Is there a specific policy or proposed policy that we, as fans in the state, can lobby against en masse to make a statement? I know there are a few individuals living here that they don't agree with and it is a very conservative state but I can't believe that would stop them. And I also have heard about the possibility of slow ticket sales but seriously? One show in the DFW are would surely sell out.

Just pack up Texas and move it to the Northeast. You guys are sure to have tons of shows then.

I know a guy who lives in (or near) Houston. He used to be a 10 Club member and actually met Stone at one point. Yeah, I guess meeting the band isn't all that hard, you just need to know how/where/when.

Anyway, he said he canceled his 10C membership because all they do in Texas is festivals.

yeah, we miss them down here. but i get the feeling that the light went on when they saw/felt the reaction from the crowd at ACL. just watch...we're moving to Portland or Seattle in a year or 2...that's when they'll start playing TX again!! haha---they're just waiting for us to leave!

Dear PJ,
come back to TX soon.

Thanks,
Matt

texas.... please.... would love to not have to travel 1/2 way across the continent to see my favourite live show... 2008 flew to NYC....in 2009 flew to Toronto (did ACL as well mind you), and this year drove 5 hours to New Orleans and flew to Boston....

I'm not in Texas by choice, and really don't think I should be punished because of it... I won't let my 10C membership expire because I will travel to see the band... but I think I deserve some lovin' too!
