    well, ed says that after almost every show, everywhere. I wouldn't read much into it.

    I don't think ed's comments at those shows pre-saged a five-year absence. I think they haven't been back because they haven't been back.

    Big Bend doesn't count?

    I guess I have to retract my statement after having viewed some photos of Big Bend... I've heard of it... but I've never ventured out there... Looks like my kind of place...

    I had a short layover on my flight to California for the 2006 Bridge School show. I hated having to spend just that 1 1/2 hours in Texas.

    Now that we are getting some of this out our system, maybe I will start the Official Play Texas Thread. It worked from the South!

    And we can list positive reasons like, "Please play Texas becuase Dallas County, with help from the Innocence Project (one of PJ's favorites) just cleared their 16th wrongfully convicted man through DNA evidence, more than any other county in the country."

    The Dallas DA, Craig Watkins, has made it a personl mission to right the wrongs of previous Dallas distict attorneys.

    That's how I felt about having to fly through Boston to get to Halifax back in 2005. :D

    ROCK!

    And Van Halen for the second time, and Bruce and Bon Jovi were just here. And the Foo Fighters were just here in January and will be back for ACL. And The Black Crowes were just here in October and will be back in May. Many others.

    See PJ, it ain't that hard!

    I think he says it on the Dallas boot right after "Green Disease" and going into "I am mine." He says, something like "this is our last stop in Texas for quite awhile, so glad you could make it."

    That's kind of crazy though isn't it? How could he make a statement like that unless HE personally decided they wouldn't play here? I thought the promoter booked the arenas. Why would they segregate an entire state for five years or more?

    And we don't need any Texas jokes here..........

    Anybody thinking of Texas jokes to post let me tell you this. I'm from Miami and I've lived all over the country. I fucking LOVE AUSTIN. I wouldn't leave this place if they paid me. :)
