Note: This message was posted on May 22 and has been mangled to appear at the beginning of this thread. Because of this some messages later in the thread will look a bit odd as they ask for confirmation that this message already provides. "Yay" paradox!

I looked through the recent postings, but didn't see anything.

Ticketmaster is showing 2 concerts for 'Pogues" at the Fillmore in San Francisco in October. Tickets go on sale on May 21st. The Fillmore websit doesn't mention the shows though.

Is this for real?

Wow, that's some optimism, geet, searching Ticketmaster for Pogues gigs!

Fillmore's site doesn't show the gigs.......yet.

Mr. Chevron?

I'll buy the beers, DzM! And for your schmoopy-pie as well!

Someone mentioned it in a completely unrelated forum. I figure this would be the best place to get more info. I think he was perhaps the optomistic one searching Ticketmaster.

I have tried to set the Pogues up in my artist alerts, but no go. At least for Canadian Ticketmaster.

Cheers to him as well! And, might I say, that's some good humility there, geet.

***crosses fingers and clicks heels***

lucky west coast if its true

Yeah it'll give you something to look forward too.

Hmmm, I am lucky enough to be in Las Vegas that week, so could get to San Francisco, but if these shows are on, will there be others on the West Coast, perhaps in Vegas? Wouldn't mind knowing before I try and book tickets for San Francisco........

Mmm I wonder if my partner minds going to see The Pogues instead of our usual winter sun holiday....

I'm foaming at the mouth...

Careful nate.. careful!!

Just wait..... before you go and do anything silly.

We really should do Vegas, if only so James can use his "what are all these people doing in Shane's room?" line again.

Dont think I heard this story before..

Please Mr Chevron, Could you tell us about it???

Will it just be San Francisco, or are there to be other dates?
