Definitely need to coordinate an announcement with radio hype, for the 47 people that still listen to the radio. Maybe they are waiting for ad's they want to put in the newspaper to get approved, too.

Think it’s up to 48

No radio station chatter. That Philly announcement turning out to be Metallica is a killer. 

Ouch yeah Philly would probably be one of the places I’d drive to see them or Boston! So what is it about this band I wish they would just have the guts to state hey folks we don’t like touring as a band anymore! Beatles did it lol, it’s hard to think otherwise you can’t tell me this is band that likes to hit the road every year, like Bruce or DMB etc etc etc

They clearly do not.  They show up when they need money.  And we take what we can get. 

I’m pretty sure money isn’t an issue for them.  

Nah.  They want more money like most people.  They want to fund charitable endeavors, living expenses, college funds, and take care of employees.  They don’t want to dip into principal for that.

Agreed. 

To think they only tour when they're hard up for cash is laughable.

Are they going to put up $450 band signed posters from Mike's stash today?

$405.00 would be more appropriate. (I don't want to buy one on Ed's birthday!)

Well...All the memorabilia that was on exhibit at the MoPOP will technically be available soon... Just sayin'...

See my earlier post.  They aren't broke.  They do only enough to get the earnings they want (my opinion).  I'm extremely jealous of their situation.   They built an annuity stream that requires them to tour about 3 weeks a year and every so often make an album.

My gut tells me Friday or Monday

Would they announce on Easter Friday/Monday?

As we saw w/ Jeff's poster sale, they have other ways of generating revenue that don't involve upending their personal lives for months at a time if they were so inclined.

I feel like Easter has no impact on an announcement

Monday the 10th = final reminder and one last teaser in the newsletter
Tuesday the 11th = Go time.

I think you're right

Reasons why I am thinking its today or tomorrow. 


Santos coming out publicly saying keep your membership up to date has always meant an announcement is very close. 

The early newsletter. The 10th is coming up. Why would they have an early newsletter with membership renewal hints if they were just going to blow past the 10th with no tour announcement.  

Unless the tour is announced on the 10th. That would make sense for an early newsletter.

Trying reverse psychology.

Hopefully, the announcement was supposed to be yesterday but it has been delayed because they are adding a full northeast swing in October. 

YoullseeDragons

Announcement for the MMRBQ is on Monday the 10th at 8am. Playing Pearl Jam now for Mike's Birthday.

One of the main perks of being successful and making a lot of money - in any field - is that as you get older you have the flexibility to choose whether and how much you want to keep working. Good for them, I say.

I'm ready to go:

I'm still Team Today... newsletter will talk about tickets on 10th

Philly announcement at 8a Monday. Does that mean we'll have to wait 5hrs to find out the rest of the dates?

This. Why send an extra, early April
email to members if there isn’t something happening before the newsletter date?

Salt_life23

Announce the regular shows today, festivals come next week? 

I have no idea

I read the doo doo dos to the tune of black.  What is the MMRBQ anyway?  Could it be something PJ plays at? 

Kwieneke

Agreed. So weird they’d send it early if not before next Monday. And can we not get an announcement and newsletter the same day?
