Sitting in work, and just realized we're less than a month away...

NIce to see the bailout is going towards something useful...
...Getting inspired watching "Night James Brown Saved Boston".

I'll be on vacation in Florida in early march. If I leave Clearwater at about 4:00 p.m. on the 7th, is there any chance I'd make it to the show on time?

Google maps claims it's a 4 hour and 19 minute trip, basically straight south and then east on I-75, so I'm hopeful.

well your estimate got me interested and my Google request came up with this;

Driving directions to New York, NY, USA
1,147 mi – about 18 hours 41 mins

so i think you may have think about this a bit more??

I think, IrishRose, that you meant for your link to look like this:

If our friend left on March 7 at 4:00 PM and did a straight 18 hour shot then yeah, he'd be in New York in plenty of time for the March 13 show. Surely, though, he means to be going to the Florida show on March 7? Failing that, perhaps the Atlanta show?

Both seem a closer options than driving all the way to NY for the show.

I got my Atlanta tickets a couple days ago. I'm not sure who's more excited, me or my gal.

Just out of curiosity, "Rainy Night In Soho" is still on the setlist, right? I've got a, um, question I want to ask my gal on that night, and I'd kind of like it to be during that song.

"WILL YOU BEER ME?!"
"WHAT?"
"WILL - YOU - BEER - ME?"
" ... YES!!! I THOUGHT YOUD NEVER ASK!"
"THANKS! ... WAIT! ... WHAT?"

Usually the middle song of the first encore set.

Thanks...I may have to change the clearwater plan and go to a game in fort myers or jupiter that day. Those look a little more realistic.

One more thing to keep in mind, when traveling on the 7th March, is that Bike Week 2009 is scheduled to begin Friday, February 27, 2009 and continue through Sunday, March 8, 2009. The greatest concentration of visitors will be in Daytona Beach although there will be events happening in all over Florida. The big night where they have lots of bands and such like, is usually the last weekend (Sat 7th!) so you may encounter traffic on any major routes that day, even going to Ft Myers. On the flip side, the bikers are a lot of fun and the atmosphere is great wherever you go.

Thanks for the tips, everyone. I did mean the 3/7 pompano beach show - sorry for the bit of confusion about that.

Existing March 12 tickets can be used for Friday March 13 but it is preferable to use them for the Saturday March 14 show.

Holy crap. We just had a Friday the 13th in February, now we are getting another one? How often does that happen?

On another note, what are the chances of getting a set list for the tour?

Well, it Happens 3 times in 2009, Feb. March and November.

As far as getting an advance set list- don't be silly!
