    Nothing better than seeing the Foos in a tiny venue. Seeing them front row at 9:30 Club earlier this year is probably my 2nd favorite concert memory ever...unbelievable! And then it makes you appreciate seeing them in an arena even more...they come at a huge crowd with just as much intensity and passion as they do a tiny club show. And always have. Can't wait til a full blown tour is announced! I really loved the snippet of the new song they added into Pretender!

    Jack has a weird since of humor. I thought the rant was pretty funny.

    I heard the Foos responded by posting a pic of a monkey playing the guitar or something?

    I think it's been 10 years since they last came to Connecticut. Would love for them to play the XL Center.

    Daves mom was there

    She was at the second Holy Shits show I went to. In the balcony sat next to Roger Taylor. Brian May was there too. Dave said when he sings about My Sweet Virginia he is singing about his Mum.

    Chime,how about a posting a pic of that Holy Shits shirt?
    Our merch was light.Just one shirt with venue on it and a few peeps got a poster handed out for free.(we got one).

    photo b1127ffd-a0ce-4462-b3c0-400df6d94a57_zps0d7b76e7.jpg
    The wristbands. Checked for House of Vans and red and gold for Islington Academy (Arsenal FC colours)

    photo 0b209691-6051-44e4-82e6-047ddd96e492_zps55fe9233.jpg
    Tshirt is from the Islington show and has the date and the venue on the back. Rest of the merch is what was given away at the House of Vans show.

    Have seen The Holy Shits merch selling for crazy money on ebay.

    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    Oh wow! I'll have to look into tickets for a night when it is announced. I think the only other time a band had a week's residency on Letterman was U2 in 2009. Has anyone else had that?

    Debuting a cover song each night... sorry but that's big difference IMO.
