    Were you even prompted to log in? I wasn't. They asked for my email address, but that was it. I even LOOKED for a way to log in and couldn't find one.

    I could not not login either. Just entered the password, and then email. I wish I had waited for todays TM presale, as I hate waiting for Musictoday or whatever they are called to mail the tix, They always wait to ship tix very late and it stresses me out.

    I missed the small blurb in the benharper.com email about the mini-tour, and subsequently missed the site's presale. Thankfully I didn't miss the livenation presale, and I'll be at the Toronto show. This'll be my fifth consecutive year seeing Mr. Harper. Can't wait.

    This will be my 9th or 10th time seeing Mr. Harper since 1999. I skipped the acoustic show at Massey Hall so I'm over due for my Harper fix. I saw Charlie Musselwhite with Ben and the Innocent Criminals at Kool Haus in 05 or 06. Really looking forward to this show.

    You missed quite a show at Massey, though the staff there strictly enforced the curfew and he had to drastically cut down his set. I was actually front row for that show. Can't wait for the Danforth Music Hall show, it should be mind-blowingly good. I didn't even realize the venue could do GA shows. I'm more than pumped to see Ben again, but I envy you, I never got to see him with the Innocent Criminals.

    Going to the Beacon show this Friday :D Saw them at Irving Plaza a few months ago, lovely. Charlie was completely unfazed when someone yelled, "Charlie, show me your mussels!". I giggled, couldn't help it.

    Seeing them on Thursday in DC and could not be more excited! Will be my first time seeing Ben, and I've been wanting to see him in any faction for a little while now! :)

    I'm seeing them both in July, great album so i'm really looking forward to it. Ben is great live.

    I don't think tickets for the London show has been selling well though :?

    Oh man, cool! I'm so glad Charlie Musselwhite is active!

    One evening in 1968 or '69 I was walking down University Ave. in Palo Alto with my girlfriend and we passed by a little club called In Your Ear. I heard these familiar sounds coming out of the place as we approached. When we got to the door we ducked in and there was Musselwhite, hunched over a mic blowing these amazing blues, blowing our minds.

    And now with Ben Harper. Nice!
