You might find it' to be more fun than a one-day event with a local show, and you'll have some great memories for the rest of your life. The trips I took to Atlantic City and New York will be with me for a long long time.
I hope you can make it.
You're absolutely right you know. Seeing the Pogues in my own back yard would be really nice, but nor, for me, the trip to Boston is PART of seeing The Pogues...as is the Orpheum Theatre.
Seen the Pogues three times this way now, I wonder what HOB will be like...other than being in what I've been told is a terrible area (?).
Last year, my GF's sister and her husband came with us. Splitting the cost that way was great.
It is almost like going to see The Pogues is just an excuse to visit Boston. I love that city, been there 4 times now. The first time was in Sept. 2000 during the hight of the big dig. Though I might not make it to boston in March, we may still visit Boston later in the Spring/Summer just for the hell of it.
