    Yvonne is coming from Germany and only arranged it all on Tuesday night :D
    See what we do for this band!!

    Appie/Al, you can take the ' L' train down to pick up tho, shouldn't be an issue? My hotel is right next to the Madison/Wabash station which is the nearest to the pick up point I think.

    I know your head is spinning right now (and rightly so!) but maybe take a few mins out to call the US Embassy and double check the VISA situation. It would kill you if you ruck up to the airport and they don't let you travel on a shitty technicality.

    This makes me cringe......its a concert......you get necessary surgery and "worry about paying for it later", not fly around the world to see a concert.
    There's Pearl Jam, The Rolling Stones, Chuck Berry, Robert Johnson......and then everybody else.

    :lol::lol: he wouldn't be doing it if there was a financial penalty, he would have considered all of this, it's a turn of phrase.... (I know Al isn't in the UK but in my case we don't have to pay for surgery, we have a national health service)

    Super stoked for you Al!!! I think you made the right decision - you have to LIVE life to live it, you know?! None of us are getting out of here alive and when we go, we can't take money with us, so it's the experiences that matter most :)

    Stop by our tailgate, we'll have plenty of food and beer - that should help you save some dough!
