I don't know if this is relevant here, but I [i]might[/i] be going to the Chicago show.

[quote="thejedipunk"]Pokemon master's older sister IS relevant to the interests of the people who plan on attending the California pillows shows.

Especially mine. [/quote]

Seriously, I noticed that too. It shouldn't be much longer, though. Hang in there.

The Chicago show just got settled a couple of days ago. The Seattle show had been settled for a while now. Logan Square was booked by the band when I posted about it but there were some last minute details that needed to be worked out, i.e. opening acts, ect... Give it a few more days, it should be up soon.

I've been camping the page as well.

I'm gonna see if I can go to that show in Seattle. Any reason is a good reason to go to Seattle, at least in my family.

This is exciting. If they're going to Seattle, then they can't possibly neglect LA. Perhaps I'll actually get to go to a show this time around!

If they DON'T play LA for some odd reason it would most likely have more to do with venue problems than them neglecting it. I have been trying to find out what venues they booked in SF and LA but I haven't heard anything. I'm not saying they won't be playing there, I would assume they most likely will but considering the trouble we had with the veunes in Chicago, it wouldn't surprise me if maybe they weren't having the same problem in LA. This is pure speculation on my part mind you, I'm only saying this because I'm a bit puzzled as to why no one has heard about the LA SF venues yet.

I don't understand how there can be so many problems with booking a venue, granted I'm not an expert on the subject. I DO understand that they're going for all ages shows this time around, so I can see that the choices would be a bit more limited than normal.

And by 'neglect' I actually meant 'neglect as an ends, not a means'. I'm not great at conveying thoughts.

Ask my therapist.

they should try the OC area. more all-ages venues there.

If venue promoters and booking agents don't think a band will bring people in, they aren't going to book them. Some of them have a real problem with Japanese bands. Unless eight other local bands are on the schedule for the same night, these club agents who aren't up to par with the fact that Japanese bands are becoming rather popular here (and most of them aren't) won't book them. The thing is, the pillows aren't trying to play with 4 other bands like they did last year, they want to go it pretty much alone so getting venues has been a bit of a problem.
