    in 07 they had shows on hold down here but couldn't figure out the routing or some shit, I'd be happy them doing about 5 shows down here, I can totally see it happening. I mean why is it so hard to believe?

    I hope that something comes of these latest rumors. I would like it immensely if they made it down here!

    I agree and it's nice that someone who doesn't live in the NorthEast of the US is noticing this as well!

    When I lived in NY I didn't realize this was such a problem but since I've moved down here I can see how unfair it is.

    They should play the South, then Greece..Just for Dimitri :D

    It wouldn't be so odd for them to play SoFlo, only, if there is gonna be a fest down here..Then they are just picking up a quick payday and making a lame attempt at appeasing all the Southers (sorry, couldn't resist, with birthers and deathers etc floating around)..but I wouldn't complain since i'm down here in Florida and all..Still, it would suck for the other's, they should do a full tour of the south, and if it's true they are avoiding the south cos of politics, that's pathetic. I know a lot of bands were avoiding Arizona just cos of politics till Lady Gaga said that was bullshit and she wouldn't punish her fans for what a few politicians are doing..I actually admire that..not enough to get me to listen to her, but I still admire that.

    The thing about that, if you notice on the news posting and the posting in the forums, originally they said "only US dates for 2011", and then sometime shortly thereafter that line disappeared. While they couldn't edit the email they sent to everyone, they did edit both the news posting and the forum posting. Take another look at them and you'll notice.... I read that to mean they are planning something else.

    I think there will be more 2011 dates - they'll just be in the northeast and seattle/the gorge. It would make sense to have them in the south, as it is the farthest section of the US (geographically speaking) from AV and therefore the highest traveling expense to get there and thus probably the least amount of people making the trek....

    But we all no this band doesn't necessarily do something because it's logical... :roll:
    Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.

    good point. it seems to me the 20th anniversary was a perfect reason for a full US tour but obviously they do things their own way.

    That's what one would think. Unless there are more tour dates to be announced, this year was a wasted opportunity for the band in my opinion.
    PLAY THE SOUTH

    Agreed. I would think that if you're going to do a 20th anniversary tour, you would do dates that are accessible for your entire fan base... not just a select group of people. I mean Alpine Valley and Central/Western Canada? Mother Fucker please.... I'm a lucky Southerner who is originally Canadian and has friend and family to visit and stay with in Canada for a tour, but if I didn't I wouldn't be doing any shows out of cost alone. Just to get to Toronto for the shows is costing me over $1000 in travel expenses (not including tickets), before drinks and food, and I have friends who are giving me a place to stay....

    PJ could have sold out venues all over the globe with a 20th anniversary tour.... however, their post -2006 aversion to touring made them try and do something that would yield the most amount of benefit for the least amount of work.... or at least that is how I view it...

    They need to go back to real tours (even if it's only once every 2 or 3 years) instead of this BS touring where they only play the areas where they are sure of sellouts and the highest yield for the least amount of work.... give the south a chance... we will show you that we are just as eager and rampant for shows as those fans in the northeast.

    You will sell out Houston just as fast as Boston or Hartford. You may not sell as many 10C tickets because you have neglected this area for so long and many people have let their memberships sell lapse, but I guarantee you they will not have any problem selling out the venue.

    again, just my 2 cents....
    Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.
