I think we will get a show in the fall.

It’d be nice.

Im not opposed to traveling to a show, but it’s not as easy as it once was.  Especially with a small kid and other adult stuff.

Right.  Nothing it super drivable on these rumored dates, and flying is a hassle too; be really great to have something local.

Or at least more drivable. KC is an easy 6 hours (with great BBQ).  Anything within that would be great.

KC would be great, but it will probably be St. Louis. Bummer because that's 2 extra hours in the car. Big difference between 6 and 8 hours. I'd love for them to come back to MN, but I feel like those days may be gone with them using major hubs like Chicago as the gathering for the non-coastal markets. We're lucky to get a show a decade at this point in their career.

Same. Started pricing out flights and hotels to a few of the rumored spring dates. Shit’s expensive.  Hard to justify dropping $700 - 1000, possibly burning a day or two of vacation to spend 24-36 hours in a city to go to a 3 hour concert.  Don’t get me wrong it’s fun and all, but it be nice not have to.

With rare exception (Lincoln, which is actually a nice little town), I have always said that I won’t travel to see a band if the show is in a city I wouldn’t otherwise want to visit.  Now, if I can drive it easily sure, I’ll visit say, Des Moines or something like that.  But driving only to end up in St. Louis for example (not a real great town, having been there), or flying only to end up in Baltimore, and the only real attraction is the show isn’t how I’d want to use precious time and money.   Some of the rumored shows would be great - Cali etc.  but to fly out there and spend money on hotels, airfare etc turns it into a big vacation, which is precisely why IF I’m going to travel for a show, shit, just make it a vacation!

Im hoping for anything within 6 hours drive from here.  Anything longer is just too long in a car.

I'm heading to Poland for work for the 2nd time in as many months. I'm hoping I have another work trip scheduled around the Krakow date so I can extend my stay. Otherwise, crossing my fingers for a MN show this year.

Bump.

Got up at 1am to feed baby. Saw PJ add something in instagram. Lo and behold an amazing graphic with no caption. What’s gonna happen today?! I think new album... maybe spring four announcement? 

Cheers!

Any openings at Target Field in August or September? The only one I see is Green Day on 8/11.

Could be.  I think the fall will be a bit larger, as the new album will be out for more than a week, the songs will find their place in the sets.  Maybe we get a show?  I'll bet Wisconsin does.

I just submitted for Denver. We were thinking about heading there anyway that weekend to visit family and friends, so this pretty much solidified that idea.
