Lol, *official* my ass.
Who else here is thinking,
"maybe it's time to start considering a 2 weeks notice and throwing care to the wind"?

I know myself, i have exactly enough vacation to go to most of these shows, but with another leg coming up,
its starting to feel like "time to quit" over here.

Anyone else go through this with tour announces?

It wouldn't be the first time i've quit a job to go to some shows.
:D:D:D

If I opened it now would you not understand?

    I've got about 3 weeks of vacation stored up and HELL no I won't be quitting my job. I'm one of the few that love where I work.:)

    I'll wait and see if they get over their east coast love affair and show the midwest some love.

    I'd totally take some time off and come over for a few shows were it not for the fact I'm seeing Radiohead on 23 & 24 June here in London. If those MSG shows were either earlier or later I'd still do it, but alas...

    You raise a good point, oz. Although it's nice to see how the majority play the game.

    Can I be an honorary member of this thread?

    I can't make any shows but I'm quitting my job for my sanity.

    :( Recently started a night shift job and I think I might have to quit to see them.
    Other than D.C.'s Sunday date, the rest are on week days. Considering I just started, if I'll ask for days off I might get canned. And I'm in debt too...What the eff? :mad:

    Not having a job is the reason I can't go in the first place. Employment is a cruel mistress.

    well with 3 children to feed and 1 in the way I wouldn't be able to quit but I did just that on 1996, worked like a slave for months and saved every penny, did all the overtime I could and when the time came I gave them my 2 week notice, got my car and off I went ... on tour! Good times (though I was also only 18 years old single and childless!)

    I'm starting a new job on July 21st and my last day at my old job was supposed to be June 18th. I was going to go on a big road trip. But now I think I'm just going to go to a lot of shows.
