    Lukin, just wondering...(0% trying to start trouble)

    would you drive to Miami if they played there? what about Atlanta?
    obviously i dont know anything about you, but whats the furthest you have driven for a show from one of their tours?

    rightbackatcha. what's the farthest you've had to drive?

    me, i've driven 5 and 6 hours one way 4 or 5 times. i have also gotten on airplanes and flown thousands of miles in 4 to 6 hours at least 5 times.

    If there are more then 5 down here I would be surprised. But 4 or 5 is so much better then 0.

    I've never driven to a show, but flown to some.

    Driving anywhere from Texas is a long ass drive!

    I've definitely done some traveling so if it came down to it and it was only northern shows for some reason, i'd still find my way there. I've been to Philly, Grand Rapids, Boston, etc. It's not a problem for me to get around, I just feel bad for the people down here that can't travel so much and don't have the opportunity to see these guys in their hometown.

    So please don't take my comment as a North vs. South thing here, just looking out for my fellow southerners.

    I would think that they would surely play at least one TX date? I mean that is guaranteed to sell out in minutes!

    That is what I would think. Maybe not 2 in Houston and 2 in DFW and 1 in San Antonio or wherever like they have in the past.

    But put one big one in a central location and we'll come in from all over.

    Yeah, and I don't want to turn this thread into a "Texans bitching about not getting a show" thread, but come on!

    If it happens and we don't get one, maybe I'll start another thread for Texans who maybe want to get together and go hit a show somewhere else. There have been plenty of us on this thread.

    When IS the last time you got a show in Texas? It must have been in 2003 or 2004 right? because I have one of the "Bomb Texas" posters with Bush depicted as a Gorilla and Cheney as a bee with a swaztika on his head. Awesome freaking poster.

    Yeah, long time. The 2004 VFC show in Kissimmee is really the only show for the entire South since then isn't it? The band needs to have at least 9 shows in the South to make up for all that time.

    To be honest, if I can get the time off and have the money, I don't care how far I have to drive to see them. One good thing about Atlanta is AirTran. You can catch some cheap fares if you don't mind buying your ticket at the airport. And they fly a lot of cities now - not like when they first started up. Plus they are a hell of a lot better than most of the airlines out there now....planes are new.

    There's a southern accent,
    where I come from
    The young'uns call it country
    The Yankees call it dumb
    I got my own way of talkin'
    But everything is done,
    with a southern accent
    Where I come from

    Now that drunk tank in Atlanta's
    Just a motel room to me
    Think I might go work Orlando
    If them orange groves don't freeze
    I got my own way of workin'
    But everything is run,
    with a southern accent
    Where I come from

    I got my own way of working
    When everything is wrong
    With a southern accent
    Where I come from

    For just a minute there I was dreaming
    For just a minute it was all so real
    For just a minute she was standing there, with me

    There's a dream I keep having
    Where my mama comes to me
    And she kneels down over by the window
    And says a prayer for me
    I got my own way of prayin'
    But everyone's begun
    With a southern accent

    There once was a musical troupe
    A pickin' singin' folk group
    They sang the mountain ballads
    And the folk songs of our land

    They were long on musical ability
    Folks thought they would go far
    But political incompatibility
    led to their downfall

    Well, the one on the right was on the left
    And the one in the middle was on the right
    And the one on the left was in the middle
    And the guy in the rear was a Methodist

    This musical aggregation toured the entire nation
    Singing the traditional ballads
    And the folk songs of our land
    They performed with great virtuosity
    And soon they were the rage
    But political animosity prevailed upon the stage

    Well, the one on the right was on the left
    And the one in the middle was on the right
    And the one on the left was in the middle
    And the guy in the rear burned his driver's license

    Well the curtain had ascended
    A hush fell on the crowd
    As thousands there were gathered to hear The folk songs of our land
    But they took their politics seriously
    And that night at the concert hall
    As the audience watched deliriously
    They had a free-for-all

    Well, the one on the right was on the bottom
    And the one in the middle was on the top
    And the one on the left got a broken arm
    And the guy in the rear, said, "Oh dear"

    Now this should be a lesson if you plan to start a folk group
    Don't go mixin' politics with the folk songs of our land
    Just work on harmony and diction
    Play your banjo well
    And if you have political convictions
    keep them to yourself

    Now, the one on the left works in a bank
    And the one in the middle drives a truck
    The one on the right's an all-night deejay
    And the guy in the rear got drafted
