To wit...
In a few days, in what, three days? Three days, our fall tour kicks off with the show in Madison, Wisconsin at Kohl Center.
Yeah.
I mean, we've got a short, this is a quick little seven-show tour.
I'm
happy they're doing a fall tour.
We haven't been so lucky some years, and so I'm happy that we have it for this year.
Yeah.
Yeah.
baltimore on tuesday and then a weird like thursday friday bang bang in new york city at madison square garden not friday saturday and it's a week earlier than they typically play msg if they do have a fall tour or at least for the last few years they have is there anything to that i mean is this was this kind of do you think thrown together short you know short notice and therefore their options were a
I don't I don't think so.
I think from what I know, this took the normal planning, which this stuff that we're planning for this happens way before i ever would ever realize they they they start planning locking down now i will say it doesn't actually get locked in until literally right before the announcement like anybody that thinks they know the tour dates of a couple weeks before they're actually announced they're they're they're not for certain um because that might be the
rumor that might be the working hope but until it's locked
until it's like, until like it literally locks right before they announce it.
But this planning starts so far in advance.
Um, and, um, it's, uh, it's pretty interesting, but, but I don't think, um, I don't think there's anything overly strange that would cause the story.
Yes, it's shifted a week maybe forward and maybe just the two weeks here, but it's hitting places that we figured it would have to hit because they didn't hit Chicago area during the summer tour.
You know, you figure you got to hit there.
It's pretty awesome, I think.
Opening the tour there, pretty freaking awesome for that area.
Pretty special.
That venue, I think they played there 20 years ago.
