What's up all? I was driving back from the meet up last night and was thinking that it would be cool to see what other local fans might be touring this summer. So I decided to start a thread to see who else from the area will be on the road this summer following the band. I think it would be a great opportunity to meet some new people from the area that might be intrested in hanging out after the tour is finished. I am planning on being at most of the preshow parties for the shows I will be attending. So if your intrested stop up and hang out and don't forget to introduce yourself! I am going to leave the shows I will be at and if you would too that would be great. I am looking forward to meeting some amazing fans from all over! Not to mention meeting up with some old friends that I have made on this all encompassing trip of tours past! See you all starting June 19th!!!

Nixon in Detroit

Camden I- A chance to hang out with 1 of WMMR's biggest PJ fans Matt Cord!
Camden II- check out the 10 club @ 10 pm EST http://www.wmmr.com WMMR Rocks! Where Matt Cord gets the ED out!!
Washington DC- Ed and the guys say goodbye to Mr. Bush!!
New York City I- MSG I am so freaking STOKED!!!
New York City II- Last time out the stage physically SHOOK!! AMAZING!!
Hartford- Could this be the Grand Rapids of 08??? Ed words "Grand Rapids who knew?"
Mansfield I- Boston Lou and Boston Bobby Here I come!! I'm sure we all remember "the Experiment!!"
Yellow Ledbetter is my least favorite song. Because as soon as you hear the first note you know it is time to say goodbye.

    Jesika thats a bummer that we won't be at any of the same shows! Keep your eyes open I know that we are having another meet up in July. We wanted to make sure we didn't interfere with anyones touring. What fun is it to have a meet up when people are unable to come? I am looking forward to meeting you guys soon. Enjoy those Florida shows.

    exactly...
    munich last year was the first time i started really meeting people (the gorge i was too shy for some reason)
    its been nearly a year now and just keep meeting more and more amazing people!

    ...becareful though... the only dark side is, they start convincing you to do more and more shows... and your priorities begin to become a little askew :D

    Man... I don't have any shows planned for this tour, and now I'm REALLY pissed after reading about everyone's itineraries. Wish I could get out for a few of them... :(

    I'll be at the DC show and both MSG shows. I have an extra 10C ticket to the DC show. If someone whispers me sweet nothings I might make it available. Bending me over and calling me Suzie is a viable option as well.

    It all Depends on what time your layover is Jason. I am trying to pack a 40 work week into 3 days so we will see. PM me with your info it would be cool to see you. So after Columbia are you done with the tour? I spoke to Monica the other day she said she got to hangout with you some on the Ed solo shows! Anyway keep me posted man.
    Yellow Ledbetter is my least favorite song. Because as soon as you hear the first note you know it is time to say goodbye.
