Much as I do my best to bring you the freshest news available, sometimes the complicated and interwoven business of not jumping the gun/keeping the promoter happy takes on a life of its own. So, while I often have dates months in advance, they may change slightly right up to the last minute. Better late news than wrong news, I figure.


Awesome news! Can't wait for Vegas!

It's ok, the 1st night in Boston satisfied me to no end.

Roll on West Coast!

Same here. Never been to Frisco or Vegas but if I had to choose which place I'd goto first I would choose Vegas. Decisions decisions decisions.


Tough call. San Francisco is a great town, and the weather in October can be quite nice. San Francisco is an expensive city to visit, however, compared to Las Vegas. If you like great food, both cities have much to offer.

It's a bit easier to get around SF as they have a good bus system, but there are dodgy neighborhoods here and there. Not that Las Vegas doesn't have them, but you're unlikely to accidentally wander into one of them like you can in SF.

Las Vegas and SF both have some great natural beauty. Seeing SF from the bay is wonderful, and Las Vegas has Red Rock Canyon (nearby) and Mt. Charleston (a bit further).

I'm already in the clouds! Can't wait!

I just wish I knew if the Vegas show was before, or after California shows.
Pre-sale ticket thoughts for Frisco, and travel considerations would be much easier. Anyone?????????? Please!!!

The SF shows are the first West Coast dates. The LA shows the last.

Viva Las Vegas!!! I have already put out the word to my March 14 Boston
Group about our Vegas Road Trip!!

No other city in the world spawns stories like Vegas!! One of my faves
was meeting Capt. Lou Albano (the wrestler who was best known as
Cyndi Lauper's "Dad" in the Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Video) leaving
a breakfast buffet at Bally's. I went in and ate, then as leaving, met him
again, he was lined up for lunch!! This is all you can eat mind you! Guess
you have to maintain fighting weight.

Sorry for the excitement, this is the only city I will be able to pull off a road trip. Thank you Comps :D

Thank you sir!!! I think we're in...although this will be top-secret, surprise travel plans. Would have been nice to put in the Mother's Day card though.
