    I am still smiling from yesterday.Had to hit up my saving account last night to pay for tickets.I can't wait.I hope getting tickets is not a nightmare.I am so looking forward to meeting alot of you.Spalma... hint,hint.And seeing Dollpartz and Leathermandi again.Has anyone heard from Pearl Juli?


    yes sir, yes sir, am planning on both shows... we'll arrange to meet up. Being emotional anyway, I still cry when I see this thread, the announcement.... shit.

    I do hope they are able to cover some other southern areas at some point.

    va, sc, and dc for sure. if i can get the tickets, of course.

    this announcement was a little bittersweet imho, although GOD I"M HAPPY to have a chance to see them again. 5 years is a LONG FUCKING TIME

    Kind of a bummer that the tentative date at the Creek didn't happen eh? At least there are a number of places within reasonable driving distance of us. Hell, the last time I saw them was Asheville, and that is further than any of the places you mentioned.

    PS- what do you think of the new "rows 1 and 2" plan. You are pretty far up the ladder aren't you. With my # being just a tad over 200,000 I'm not affected (unless I were to get the lucky bump up). How cool would it be if they were to hook those of us up in this thread? If there was ever a time for acceptable collusion and sneaky, underhanded doings, that would be it. ;)

    For you Tampa people.The Cure is playing the night before Pearl Jam at the St.Pete Times Forum.


    We WERE planning to see them - so glad we are seeing pearl jam instead.

    you think the mods will shut us down if we don't "stick to the intent of the thread?"

    I am taking Monday off for this.Sorry I will be on before 9am and before 11 to get my WPB and Tampa tickets.Those are the closest show to me and have no money to travel anywhere else.

    Dude..I was just kidding. I hope you get both. I'm sure you will.

    I'm hoping for Columbia since it looks like I won't make it to Tampa.

    i'm not convinced it won't still happen. the email from the the venue in dallas tells me they have other locations on the tentative list, too. maybe i'm just in the deepest case of denial i've ever been in...

    re: random. well, honestly, i'm little on the fence. my number has landed me on the front row three times, once in 00 and twice in 03. i'm not one of those who did 30 shows a tour and got bored or complacent or recognized by ed as being the same ol same ol down front every night...so, in a way, i feel a little penalized. i guess i'm happy for people who might never have had the chance otherwise, but like i say i feel like i got penalized by two or three rows due to the actions of others. also, i'm a little worried that they do both sets of random draws first, then fill in with seniority. for example, if i didn't get pulled in the draw for the first two rows, my seniority would probably put me in row 3 or 4. if they draw for rows 9 and 10 before filling in 3 through8 by seniority, i could very easily wind up 10 rows back, and that feels almost like i'm being punished for something i didn't do

    Good morning, all!

    I just want to add my personal thanks to the band! If all goes according to plan, we'll be at the D.C. show!!!!! (Maybe more if I can swing it!)

    On a very personal thank you level, we'll also be able to visit my dearest friend from law school and his wife who now live in D.C. with their brand new baby!!! So not only will we get to see PJ, we'll also get to see baby Will! We even get to take him on his first trip to the zoo!

    Again, many, many thanks to the band to all the wonderful people I've met here who never gave up!

    Love to all,

    Man, ty. I've never met her, but that post right there says a few things about your lovely partner. Sounds like she's got a heart of gold, and she went to law school so she's got the intellect to match.

    Makes me want to go to DC to meet you fine people.

    What a great idea for a new thread!
    Daystar & Ty, you are and always will be a class act. I wait for the day we can meet. Please come south. If not, I'll eventually get North.

    Callen... I'm so sorry it didn't work out for you (yet) baby, but, come to Florida! However, it may yet happen in your neck of the woods. If you want to start a "play Texas" thread.. I'll be there bumping every day.

    StoneyG, we will talk about contacts - closer to the concerts.

    and all you Fla and nearby folks, we must make an effort to get together. (Dollp, Leather, weenie, Pat , NCBri- everyone!) It would mean so much to me make that jump to 3-d, flesh, blood and warmth.

    I just love group pictures. and what a group we are.
