    The Foos are headlining a night of the Bamboozle Festival in Asbury Park, NJ in mid May next year! From their FB:

    "Good mornin! Foo Fighters are playing this year's Bamboozle Fest at Asbury Park, NJ. The public onsale starts Saturday, but Foo Fighters fans get access to the presale starting today at 10am. The password is Asburypark.

    The Bamboozle - Asbury Park, NJ - May 18-20
    The Bamboozle 2012 Welcomes Foo Fighters!

    Very interesting choice of festival....I remember when I was in 7th grade and wanted to go SO BAD because bands like Fall Out Boy, Panic at the Disco, My Chemical Romance, Paramore and the like (thank god I grew out of that music stage :lol: ) were playing. The past few years especially they've mixed the artists up a bunch but still primarily a festival I wouldn't expect them to play! Oh well, cool anyways!

    And PJ fans that were at the MSG 1 2003 show thought they accomplished something by making the stage shake.

    I know they had posters for some shows, but definitely not for all the ones played on this tour...I think maybe 1-2 actually had a poster.

    The show I went to in Little Rock last May had a show specific poster. You would think if they had posters for a poorly attended show like that (all of the upper level and the back 3 sections of the lower level were tarped off) that they would have a poster for a big show like MSG.

    Dave Grohl is producing a sitcom on FX: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/dave-grohl-produces-rock-star-sitcom-20120202
    "Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl has signed on to executive produce a new half-hour comedy for FX starring comedian Dana Gould. The show, to be written by Gould, will be about a rock band on the verge of stardom which must go into therapy in order to keep themselves from breaking up. Unfortunately for the band, they end up with a misanthropic couples therapist on the brink of divorce.

    Gould approached Grohl to get involved with the project, largely based on the rocker's reputation as a very funny dude. It's unclear whether Grohl will appear in the as-yet untitled show, or provide music for its soundtrack.

    This isn't the comedian's first time working on a sitcom. He previously starred in Nolan Knows Best, a 2010 pilot developed for ABC. Gould is also writing a movie, Moon People, for Sony, and he hosts a popular podcast called The Dana Gould Hour."
