    I noticed this place is getting busy.

    I'm being good :angel: ... already turned down the offer of accommodation in NY ... and will ignore the fact I have friends in Noblesville if that date comes to fruition ... my bank manager will be pleased :twisted:
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    Even if I could, I couldn't afford it anyway. Looking at driving schools... damn it's expensive!

    You should definitely go if you have any kind of chance. The two shows Gen and I saw at MSG in 2008 were the best concerts we've ever been to, especially the second night....the energy, the band, the atmosphere just blew any european show (expect for perhaps the Astoria) clean away.

    We'd be going again in a heart beat if you know, we didn't have a seven month old and weren't saving all our pennies to move house.

    Make it your summer holiday (or is that already the European tour?) and eat rice for a month.

    Would you like to text the passage highlighted in bold to Dave please? :lol:

    I know he's being sensible and looking out for our future and I love him for that, but I've ALWAYS wanted to see PJ on US soil and I really do believe this is our only chance :(

    Rita - The Euro tour is already our summer holiday... MSGII would be a weekend break :oops:

    Hmmm... I like rice...

    Sian, I guess I'm trying to convince myself to go more than anything else... but why are you in such a rush to live your future?! Dave, stop being such a spoilsport! ;)

    I went to the 2 MSG shows in '08 and it was awesome. If ever there's a place to see PJ in the US, the Garden is where it's at for atmosphere! But besides that, I had the best time meeting people at the pre-parties, and generally wandering around NY. New Yorkers are SO SO nice, it's actually quite a nice place especially when I was there in June (very humid though!). The 2nd night, we were sipping drinks in the pub beer garden until about 8.45 when, after having a great day there, we decided it might be best to make a move. We got to our seats just as PJ were walking on stage, you just can't do that here! While I still prefer Euro shows, it's something different! I also had a great time in Seattle (also a very beautiful place, but it's on the otherside of the US!), if you wanted to hold out for the rumoured 20th Anniversary shows in Sept.

    Flights for me to NY return (direct) would cost €400, I'm sure you'd get something similar. Hotel for 7 nights was €450 (I was on my own) the last time I went.
