It's unbelievable to tell you the truth. No other band that tours the united states ignores one of the biggest markets the country has to offer like this band is doing.

It's been 8 years since they've played a show in the 3rd biggest city in the country!!!!! How nutz is that???

it's been 3 years since they played chicago?

weird, I was just at the united center for 2 shows. I thought it was chicago. I must have been bombed

'08 WPB crowd ruined the south. that was like being at a zombie fest

that said, I hope you guys get some shows...It's been a while. Road trips are awesome

whether the nation wants to admit it or not, Houston is now the 3rd biggest city in the country. There are over 7 million people here (4 in the DT core) that they can officially count... the problem is that there's another 2-3 million illegal immigrants that will refuse to answer any census....

Chicago can argue all it wants, Houston is bigger.

this shit is almost as bad as calling jacksonville the biggest city in florida.

these places aren't really cities...they're sprawling wastelands that are next to impossible to navigate. the lack of public transit speaks volumes

houston can't hold chicago's jock

Say what you want about the lack of a public transit, I completely agree with you. Same for the lack of "city" feel. There are a lot of things I don't like about this place, but I need a job, and Houston had one for me that pays well.

However, it is definitely not impossible to navigate, Houston is very well laid out and planned, unlike most major US cities. And it doesn't matter if you consider this place a "wasteland", that doesn't change the fact that there are more people here than there are in Chicago.

but back to the point..... PLAY THE SOUTH!

Seriously, this is getting rediculous. Anywhere within a 10 hour drive from Atlanta and I'll be happy...

Agreed, but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop.

And I dunno about 10 hours.... I think 6 is about my limit... anywhere inside of 6 hours.... but that also gives me access to 6 major US cities...

In 08 I drove down to WPB (about 7 hours) then day after show - up to Bonnaroo (about 15-16 hours) and on the Sunday after Roo was over - another 6 or 7 hours to Columbia, SC - and then back to Tallahassee - all within a week. Best week of my life

play the south
