Rosemont is like 30 miles away from me... yet I've never seen the pillows live. D; Cuz wouldn't ya know it, they day they were in Chicago, my sister was graduating college. I can't even remember the reason I missed the second tour, but it was bogus as hell.

I'll never get to see 'em live.

I think a USA tour is in the works for march. they skipped over that month on their live schedule on their website.

I hope I can catch the band before or after a show. Last time I got them to sign my Happy Bivouac, and even got Jun to fill in his signature on my BotP which I had the other 3 sign at the ACen show. This time around I'm looking to get my One Life poster signed, but I'm especially hoping to say a few words because their music has helped me through some tough times and sappy shit like that.

(Actually, a question in regards to that. One Life was before Jun's time, correct? I need to hunt down something for him to sign)

Fuuuuuck, my parents want to come out here during Spring Break, which would totally fuck me over from seeing them again.

SXSW is the 12th to 18th, I imagine they're likely to start there again, and then tour elsewhere (first going to the northeast and then back to the west coast before returning to Japan), and I'd be home up near San Fran from like the the 22nd-30th.

...Fuck, I should just campaign for them to take a bit of a vacation and stop over in Honolulu.

Where is SXSW?
I really hope they do either Austin or Los Angeles.

Heh, I wouldn't worry too much about it. At the 2006 show in Chicago I had all 4 members sign my copy of PML, including Jun. At first, I wasn't sure if I should ask him, but then the dude in front of me asked him to sign his copy of WI, so I pretty much figured I could get my CD signed. Jun laughed and shook his head at first, but the dude convinced him to sign it and he eventually signed it anyway. He did the same with me, and really didn't seem to mind too much. But this year I'll probably bring something newer anyways.

Oh, and looking on the pillows' official site, after their show on the 17th, they don't have another show scheduled (according to the site) until April 29th. So that should give them hopefully two months to tour America!

You're in luck.

Holy crap! A two-month US Tour would be awesome!

Well, I just checked ALL possible venues in LA and they're not booked anywhere for this month or March.

I'll check again in a few days.

So it was a month off, my information I got in August.

As long as they hit up a Northeast city, I just might be able to make the show. unless it's between the 20th and 30th of march, during which I WON'T BE IN THE COUNTRY

My friend and I are sitting in class so excited and praying they come to NYC. Please let them com to NYC thats as close as i think they'll come to me. So excited

heh that was me. I brought WI to get signed to that show. I wanted to get Jun for sure because I always felt he didnt get the exposure he deserved. (as with alot of bassists)
