I'm ready for it!

yeah, bring that.

I do not expect any South or Texas dates on this announcement and I won't be mad if there are none. I am expecting this to be PJ20 and Canada so I am not building myself up to be disappointed. If this was an album tour, that would be different.

I don't expect anything down here either. But it doesn't lessen the disappointment. It's sad that the fans down here continually have to reduce the excitement over a possible show down to about zero every single time an announcement is pending. I guess the bright side is if they do happen to announce a southern show today, I'll be beyond surprised - total shock (in a good way). Still hoping, but not expecting anything.

why am I bothering? This is pointless now anyway I suppose...

Just makes me wonder why I should respect a band that clearly has no respect for me. I'm gonna go buy a metallica or a tool membership and waste my free time their forums...

All I can say is that if Radiohead isn't playing ACL I am going to be sorely disappointed in all the summer concert series....

horseshit... I've had enough of chasing after this band.. why do I need to put my life on hold and spend the precious little vacation I have to travel and see this band... not to mention the money.. enough already...

At this point, it's what I'm hoping for. I just wish this band would actually come back down in a reasonable amount of time. I've been planning for the Alpine Valley thing for a while, so I'm not terribly upset, but it really is getting ridiculous. I'm still holding back on saying it's pointless to post here almost daily, but I'll give that a little bit more time. I haven't lost all hope, yet..

I can't speak for everyone, but I've been in both those places (and more) w/regard to PJ.

When I get disgusted or disappointed, I usually take a step away from the band, the boards, the chatter. I don't listen to their music for a while. Then, when I decide to sample some PJ again, it's actually a sweet taste and reminds me of why I've hung in here w/ them all these years. Ask LukinFan. Before this spring and all the PJ20 stuff, I would just drop-by the forum every so often to shoot him a PM and get the latest scoop or his take on rumors.

I keep my 10C membership up-to-date, but I'm not as rabid as I once was. Maybe that makes me an inconsistent fan, but it helps me keep in perspective that I have my life and they have theirs. If our paths intersect somewhere, then it will be a grand old time. And, if they don't: it's not personal; it's just business.

Of course, that final thought is usually preceded by a "fuck 'em. I don't need 'em anyway".

Alright, so after a long weekend of being pissed, I'm back...

First let me say thanks Rhino... I stepped away from all of this for the weekend, and it really helped.

After seeing all the dates trickle out here now... I think I'm going to wind up in Toronto for the 11th and 12th shows.... no WI for me... too many good friends in TO... I've already cleared it with the girlfriend and she's going to come with me... cause her bday is september 11th and I don't want to miss that... I'll be paying for the trip, but that's ok... I appreciate her saying she'd come cause she saw how upset I was when the tweet came out on Friday...

so hopefully this all works out... I still feel bad for all the people in the south, cause it's still terribly unfair of this band to do what they are doing, and it screams disrespect to so many of their fans.

if it had of been 15 years ago when the record company was making money off this stuff, they would have been like "fuck it, we're going" and now that they are running their own business and doing it themselves it's clearly come full circle... still coming to grips with how I feel about all of this...

anyway, here's to PLAYING THE SOUTH!!

At least they removed further speculation and flat out said there won't be any more US shows this year. That's a huge disappointment, but at least we won't be sitting here with more false hope. Looks like 9 years and counting...
