    Gotta sign up, really dissapointed they might not play more dates. I thought Asheville 04 show was one of the best crowds I've ever been a part of, and thought for sure they'd come around again this time. Oh well, we can only hope.

    Thanks Tybird! I think we all must be getting younger on the inside even though we're getting older on the outside. Sure would be great to meet you guys at a concert(s).

    PLAY THE SOUTH~~~~~!!

    Still feeling some effects of meningitis.. so am getting my rest.

    Dreary rainy weather for a week, good reading weather.
    April would be perfect time of year for a concert.

    Saw another new "Hey it's not right that they skipped the south thread". Now the complainers are calling for a separate forum just for the south. :)
    We must be doing our job right.

    O'rock radio still confirms (on air) the unconfirmed rumors of Orlando in March-April... but they have let us down before. So we will have to wait and see. No one really knows for sure, until the make an announcement which likely won't be until after the new year.

    I'm from NY and I agree that they should play the south. Even if it's only 10-15 dates...i made up a tour list a while ago for a 3rd US leg, it was 25 dates long, but i shortened it because now it is highly unlikely they will do another 25 shows

    Sounds good to me - I would just change the Florida shows to
    West Palm (x2)
    Orlando

    (Tampa was not the best venue -Ice Palace) - although they have a nice new amphitheater over there now... hmmmm.

    I can't see them doing Orlando & Tampa (too close) but would rather see them in the amphitheater (orlando O-rena sucks for music) so, maybe you are right -

    just would like to see 3 shows in Florida (plus 2 shows in Atlanta would make a great weeklong road trip!)

    So maybe :
    West Palm
    Orlando (or Tampa)
    Jacksonville (great venue - Soldiers... something)

    Sorry about my ramblings.

    Oh, and Bump.

    Not too Shabby.........I would suspect that Raleigh would actually sell more tix than Columbia, SC......but you chose some cities that would be interesting to visit and see a Pearl Jam show while there.

    Sorry I ment to take Alby out...

    I took Raleigh out because I put Virginia Beach and that is near Raleigh, your probably right though

    I wanted to fit in Vancouver, Ottawa, and Montreal somewhere but I don't think that is going to happen

    I think the State College at University of Maryland would be amazing! They have that brand new Comcast Arena there!

    Oh no!, Them's fight'in words!

    Actually 3 shows in NYC makes sense - they'll draw all the Jersey folks that got all the shows earlier this year and many more from all points of NE (and Canada). And they'll make some money too.
