One of the great joys in my life is going to McDonalds and choosing the drive through lane that never moves, while the cars that got there long after you in the other lane order their food first.   Sitting and watching those other cars go by is such a thrill.  I know eventually the McDonalds attendant will remember my lane exists so I don't fret.  It is my fault for choosing the wrong lane.

Have a great day everyone!

Some light reading to enjoy between the bouts of 40 year old why-me-ism  tears. 

So now humor (at least what I am going for) isn’t allowed either.  Count me as a confused 40 year old.

The crazy of this thread is rubbing off - I just booked hotels for Nashville and St Louis. I was going to book the hotel right across from the Enterprise Center, as I've stayed there before, and the location can't be beat, but it's changed ownership, and looks a little run down (reviews back this up). 

What day did you book for St Louis? The dates I have heard mentioned most is the 16th and 18th. Never mind, I went ahead and booked a room for both nights. 

Booked for both. Figure I can cancel/change if needed.

Another day filled with hopes and anticipation that this is “the day”

what is it they say about doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results? Oh ya, Pearl Jam insanity

Paycom Center (OKC) looks booked on 9/18. The on sale date is TBD, so maybe it can be bumped, but if not, OKC is out on 9/18

(also, do McDonald's have multiple drive thru lanes now?)

Haha.  Insanity is correct.  I would have said 100% we'd hear this week but without a social media hint from PJ I don't think this is the week.

Yes, some of them do.  It varies by location.

A lot of them near me have them (the still converge to one pick-up window).   Love that Saturday morning coffee and Egg McMuffin.   I know I'm eating trash but oh well.

I’m going to be gutted if they bump my rodeo tickets for Pearl Jam. 😕

I am done booking rooms that are not refundable. The extra $15-20 for a refundable room is worth not having to worry if something comes up. I had non refundable rooms in STL and OKC in 2020, and after some work was able to get refunds for both. I am not doing that again.

It makes sense, given the past two years, I just haven't been to one in a long time. No judgement here - I eat my fair share of trash.

with the rumours that the rescheduled dates being in the fall just reversed my dashed dreams that I wouldn't be able to do Ottawa. Here's hoping!

OKC was a great show in 2013.   The green Supersonics wristband was a cool surprise (going back to my old merch days).  A little road trip from Dallas to OKC.

Its just for the tickets and you know what happens when a tour that employs hundreds of people and plays for tens of thousands of fans doesn't work for my schedule? I just don't go.  I don't complain that a band has forsaken my personal needs.  Why meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?

This. With all the random dates Ticketmaster has used as placeholders, or the amount of times there’s issues with the site, why do people seem to think that date is so concrete? Especially with the way things have gone so far, I don’t buy it
