Portland to Chicago = 1752 miles as the crow flies

While Orlando FL is a paltry 1250 miles from Chicago, Boise ID is a staggering 1700 miles from Chicago.

In addition, I intend to make the trip by wagon train via the Oregon Trail. pdxs1 of Portland, you are welcome to travel with me via covered wagon, for this is the way of the hard motherfucker of the American West.

However, I know that there is at least one person who will travel almost 2100 miles to see only the Sunday night show. Unfortunately, he/she will miss the game that day while in transit. So sad, for to miss the game because of transit.

Damn. 1157.49mi.

Tucson is approx. 1,843 miles from Chicago

I'd like to make this trip (hook/crook) by bike, so the calves are in shape for my scissor kicks to "Dog and Pony Show".

I will be biking from Logan Sq. Chicago to Lincoln Sq. Chicago on Sat. & Sun.

If there's a contest for sweatiest fanboy before the show even starts, I win.

The song they played in SF a couple years back must've been the "Hold On" song. Mr. Albiz mentions this here.

aghh, shit. The Bottom lounge has sold their last ticket. It seems quite low to beg for a Shellac ticket, but this is what I'm doing. does anyone know where to get 1 ticket, I'll pay double or whatever. fuck. 25?

forgive me for the crap-postage on your otherwise pleasent board. Though, to clarify; I need (1) ticket for FRY APR 15 at this Bottom lounge, I will be there early. Begging for a ticket. har har. what are the chances of success? 11:3 ? Its a small place I presume; chances are unlikely I succeed.

I've never sucked dick for tickets until today.

Hey gang, quick report on the mpls set last night:

a great, long, funny set. Lots of new tunes, a few old gems ("Killers"?Oh Yeah!), the band was defintely "on", in the finest form I have seen in a some time. Todd defintely stole the show w/ not only his drumming, but hilarious stage banter

It was great to see them in the big room and have a little breathing room

I'll second that. It was a damn fine and impressive set. And I'll also add that Arcwelder finely rocked as well.

Now if only STNNNG &/or SICBAY would play more occassional shows DURING THE WEEK, a show on a monday, tuesday, wednesday or thursday perhaps...

(I work graveyards on the weekends so i never get to see those fine, fine bands)
