    I was talking to a buddy today to make sure he reserved his Mansfield tix. We talked about the open date (June 29) and wondered if the band would be doing anything. He says, "God, I hope not.....I can't afford anything else" Then we both laughed, saying that we knew we'd be going to anything else that was scheduled in the Mass area that weekend, or following week.

    Hey, we're supposed to be stimulating the economy with these checks we're getting this summer, right? I can't think of a better way to do it.

    3 shows, beginning the day we get back from our honeymoon, is completely wiping us out. Well, that and....

    i've got my wedding in June, and buying a house (on Long Island, if anyone knows what kind of $$ that entails) before then.

    i would even have free crash pads in SC and DC, but just can't afford the tickets or the time off.

    well, like Mandi and I said, for the "next tour" we will all be richer and have much more flexible jobs!

    (good luck with MSG, Mandi)

    peace.

    Never again is correct. I was with great people but it just didn't work for me.
