Culen, one of the most cynical, jaded IMers of all time, actually said he came to like noodles a lot more after hearing them live. So take that for what it's worth.

In my book? Nothing.

I'll defend Noodles till the end

[quote="ladybirdgirl"]Well, I'm disappointed to say the least. I was telling terra that I had known about this tour since our trip in September, but we were talking about a full USA tour until last month!! This may put a damper on any special Fb promotions we are discussing, but its too soon to say plans are not going through...

A few things could have happened. Like I said before, we're dealing with old men hahaha. They simply don't want or need to travel across the US to play small shows, even if they sell the places out. What do they have to prove (even though that contradicts their desires to sell more CDs and merch in the USA, but thats another story)? They could have also encountered booking problems along the way, because NYC was definitely in the picture. I'm trying to get information on whether or not they'll come back to the east coast in a similar style to the California gigs --NYC is only 3 more hours of flight time after all from Tokyo! You didn't hear it from me though, ok??

Imagine the cost of touring the entire USA with 4 bands. It's an incredible expense. My bet is you'll see more of these California gigs because lots of Japanese bands quick shows in Cali. Didn't noodles do this a bunch of times?

Not sure if I'll make it to the west coast for these shows, especially if I won't be paid, so someone will have to be our tour info eyes and ears out there! I'll let you all know what other follow up info I can collect, sorry guys. I'm as bummed as anyone.[/quote]

Well this is mildly depressing. I really hope something can still work out, but if I have to, looks like road trip time. And I might as well go see a couple of shows if I'm going all the way out there. I told myself I wasn't going to miss them again.

Doesn't seem like much of a t-shirt selection.

Seriously... but I'll probably still end up buying one. lol

What if, and this is a big what if, they're only announcing this so no more dates are found if they're leaked?

I'm just being hopeful for you guys, but I'm extremely happy I'm in California. <3 Probably buying tickets today.

Why would they even want to keep that under wraps?

Keep it a surprise? I don't know. D: Buying tickets now. Soon as I find my wallet.

no NYC show...damn.

I'm crushed. was really hoping they'd keep up the great streak of touring a bunch of big cities that they've been doing every two years since what, 2006?

C'mon, not coming to St. Louis, I understand. Skipping Chicago, sure. Skipping the whole damn country except CA?

This sucks. What a bizarre decision.

I'll admit though, I'm still hoping upon hope there are late tour announcements.

Well, if this is true I'm fucking pissed.

hi. i missed a lot here... maybe a few years (what the hey is ooparts?) . but anyway going to pomona show! (its a really small venue i wonder why theyre going there...)

i skimmed a t-shirt post. but to whoever posted: they usually sell more than what they advertise, no?

Oh hai.

I seem to recall in previous years they would bring t-shirts leftover from other tours, so who knows.
