If you're moving back, be sure to check the property taxes on any home you think about purchasing. The already ridiculous taxes are going to be raised again because of some so-called "shortfall" in the city/county budgets. I'd sure like to study the ledger sometime because Austin's streets, schools and police response time SUCK. Where's all that money going.......hmmm???????

I'm so ridiculously stoked - this is about the only thing that will make me brave ACL again (choked on the dust last time! 14 years is WAY too long to go without Peal Jam in Austin! Countin the days...

I had no idea it's been that long. I moved from the East Coast where there were pretty much shows galore. They better damn well show Texas some love on the tour and not just leave us with ACL and all those non-hardcore jammers in the crowd. I don't mean that there aren't lots of PJ fans around here, but I'm used to large concert crowds being NOTHING BUT....

It's been 14 years since they've played atx and 6 since they've played in the state of TX so don't plan on getting spoiled like in the NE. Their last show in Austin was my first PJ show and now literally half my life later they are finally coming back. Can't wait and I hope we get more TX shows along with ACL.
This show, another show, a show here and a show there.
Thats cool. My wife and I have already got our tickets and a place to stay. Although the rumors of the other bands don't really have me that excited. I am thinking we should have chosen to go to Outside Lands instead. The only band rumored so far that is not at Outside lands that I would want to see again is Sonic Youth.

Well, they say they'll play the "west", and to me, that's Texas. Some folks like to include TX in the south.... huh?
If Texas is indeed in the "west" as far as PJ goes, I'm figuring Houston and Dallas at the least? I'm actually from Florida where they would usually play West Palm Beach, Tampa and Orlando, then on up to Atlanta. I read that when they did the Riot Act tour and played Dallas, that people got up and walked out. I feel certain that Dubya's presence in the White House is what kept them away from here. Man, I love it here...and the weather suits a former Floridian just fine.

Ya, ironic that Austin's slogan is "Live Music Capitol of the World" yet, we get almost no big ticket bands. Will be nice to get some PJ love along with some of the other bands at ACL. The official lineup is set to be released tomorrow :P
i am just awaiting the *official* ACL announcement so we NAs can get our own *tweet* for some US shows!
*fingers crossed *
well, i'll be up late mixing. so i'll be checking the ACL boards regularly & as soon as it goes up, i'll try to post a link (if i'm awake!). i seem to recall the announcement coming right around midnight the last couple of years.
Oh man I hope there is a Dallas and Houston show (Fingers crossed). I would also like to see Kings of leon or Sonic youth open those shows if they happen. I'm trying to remain optimistic, so I'm thinking since Texas didn't get any Ed solo shows, and we know the ACL is a go hopefully another Texas date or two.
