Hardly. I'm just someone on this side of the ocean that can call places for them and get them in touch with the right people, I'm old like that.

Anyway, it looks like the Chicago show is going to be at Logan's Square which is a fairly decent size venue. I believe it's capacity is somewhere around 800 so spread the word midwesterners. Once again, this is not 100% confirmed but at this point, it looks like Logan's Square is going to be the place,

Well shit.

I'm a little concerned about the strain they will be going through. They shouldn't set up an LA show for the 25th. Maybe the SF. I'm all in favor if they do it on the 26th. That way they have a day of rest/travel from Seattle. They should also set the LA and SF shows a day apart for the same reasons. I really hope that LA does happen. My friend and I (Indivi on here) are planning on going to NY to see them. But this is even better for me. Seattle is obiviously much closer than LA. I also really do hope that they do make it to Chicago. It wouldn't be right if Plat and JomeL and all the other cool kats in that area don't get to see them.

1985GET

Hoping to be able to travel up to Chicago to see them. It'll be nice without the anime convention, although that wasn't as awful as a lot of the people always made it seem.

Logan Square Auditorium in Chicago gave us the date! Woo hoo!

The band doesn't even know yet, ha ha. Bojan is indeed, superman.

JomeL needs to go.

Indeed, as does Joyuese.

Looking at the Crocodile Cafe website it does not say anthing about the pillows June 24th. I wonder if they won't be added to the line up.

I know! I feel your pain. But I still got my fingers crossed for a Boston show. REALLY hope that Sawao puts in atleast one date for Boston.

They aren't playing Boston this year, sorry. But c'mon you guys, Boston is like 200 miles from NYC. There are fans in Atlanta, Miami, Denver ect... and you guys are complaining about 200 miles. That's like 4 hours, 3 1/2 if you speed a little, by car. It would take about 45 minutes by plane. It's nothing. I'm going to have twice as long of a drive to Chicago and this is only if I can make it. I don't even know if I can go yet.

Yeah, I live around Atlanta, and it's pretty sad that I'll likely never go to a pillows show. They need to show some mercy on the southeast.

I totally get what your saying. But for thoes underage people who just can't get a way to get there, it sucks. I'm BARELY making it to NY, by the skin of my teeth. That might even change. Money and distance, i have no problem with. But a way to get there is the harder part. And I'm 16, so its hard for parents to take me there, or to even trust me to go.

But I will make it, some how or another. I'll hitch hike if I have to....better start shaving my legs..

I'm just saying there are a LOT of other underaged fans that are a LOT furthur away from a show than you are. I understand your frustration. Hell, we had a booking all most all set to go in Minneapolis but for what ever reason, the band declinded so there went my 10 minute drive to see them. It's just that everyone complains when they don't come to their city but at the same time, there are venues don't want to book them. The first venue in Chicago that was contacted never got back to anyone, not even to say no.

What I am more pleased about than anything is the fact that I got them in touch with a booking agent that lives here in the states. He has been a fan of theirs for a while and he is willing to work his butt off for them. That people, is good news because when this agent meets them in Chicago after booking this show for them, they are going to have that connection which to my knowlegge, is something they didn't have before. Therefore, if they do come back here again ( and I don't see why they wouldn't) he would be the one person who may be able to get them to expand their tour the next time around.

Just got my tix in the mail. Ecstatic!

hope I can still go....
