2008 DATES
9/8/2007 7:35:36 AM - by CURE:ROBERT
WE ARE ONE SHOW AWAY FROM ANNOUNCING THE RESCHEDULED DATES!
WE WILL BE POSTING THE NEW 2008 NORTH AMERICAN CONCERT SCHEDULE SOMETIME THIS COMING WEEK (AN UNEXPECTED UPSIDE - THE REVISED ROUTING HAS ALLOWED US TO PUT IN A COUPLE OF ADDED SHOWS!)
AND IF THE INK DRIES...
WE WILL POST THE EUROPEAN SHOWS TOO
AND...
HAV A GOOD WEEKEND
RSX
:rocker
Thanks for posting the post from Robert jct :)
That would be really good if they also post the European Tour dates, so i can make plans.
Hmmmm...added shows where? Detroit, Cleveland, Phoenix, and Sacramento are all strong candidates.
What about Sioux City? Council Bluff? :lol: :smth023 I wouldn't be surprised if Miami was added.
yaaaaaaaay EURO TOUR!!!
Maybe Phoenix and Pittsburg? Miami? Detroit?
god, can't w8 4 the euro dates =)
*excited*
I've been hoping for Sacramento or another CA date too since I have tickets for LA, San Diego, and Santa Barbara already. Another show in California would be easy to fit in.
Since Robert's already mentioned problems with routing due to NBA playoffs, I'm thinking that the additional shows will be for cities without NBA teams. Ideally, I'd like a Cincinnati date as I live less than five miles from either place that the show would be, but I'm not holding my breath.

I don't think it would kill them to come back to Minneapolis for once.
They played there every tour from 1984-1996, with the exception of 1989...
And hey, why not give Kansas City's brand new arena a try?

I'm kind of hoping they don't play the Santa Barbara Bowl (though I live in Santa Barbara) and play someplace else at which my ticket will be honoured. I've heard these horrible rumours about the plug being pulled at ten o'clock every night (the Santa Barbara Bowl is in a residential area). Problem is they'd probably have to pick a different city; I don't think there's anywhere else of comparable size they could play in town.

But wasn't the SB show starting at 6:30? That's plenty of time ;)

It's not just NBA at that time of year....it is also the NHL and the AHL.
Well, here in Cincinnati they'd not have to worry about ANY of those!
No kidding....you guys don't even have your own airport. Isn't the Cincinnati airport in Kentucky?
And trust me, sometimes it feels like we don't have any professional sports teams either!

Philadelphia Phillies, the first pro sports team to lose 10,000 games :P

Yes it is, though it's really not far from Cincinnati. I actually live in Kentucky too, though I'm only about 3 miles south of downtown.

Alright, Punk. Let's have a look at the numbers here. The Phillies have been a team for 125 years, the Seattle Mariners for 31 years. So, let's project the number of losses over the same period for the Mariners. As of today, the Mariners have lost 2574 games. Divide that by the number of years they have been a franchise, and you get an average of 83.03226 losses per year. Now multiply that by the 125 years the Phils have been around, and you get a projected total of 10379 losses, or 357 more losses in the same span as the Phils.
Of course, there are many variables that would skew these numbers in your favor, but for the sake of me busting your balls, we'll ignore those factors.
More:
Streaks
14 straight losing seasons (1918-1931) where the Phils went 786-1310 for a outstanding .375 winning percentage
16 straight losing seasons(1933-1948) where the Phils went 888-2443 even more incredible .266 winning percentage
For those keeping score, the Phils managed ONE winning season between 1918-1948!
Current World Series drought: 26 seasons
Phillies have accumulated 1 World Championship, 5 Pennants, and 9 Playoff Appearances in 124 seasons. Can you believe that? Basically the Phillies only had a chance to win a Championship 9 times out of 124 seasons!
For comparsion, the Florida Marlins (est. 1993) and Arizona Diamondbacks (est. 1998) and have won 3 World Championships, 3 Pennants and 5 Playoff Appearances between them in 21 seasons.
I could really care less about baseball, but I know that the 49ers have won more Super Bowls (5) than the Eagles and Seahawks combined (0).
But I'm not from San Francisco. Hmmmm... :lol:
The Eagles won a championship before the Super Bowl came about. And based on their performance yesterday, I don't think that another championship is in the near future.
They could play RI and CT... haven't played either since 92. Or maybe they played Hartford in 96 (too lazy to look it up). That would be nice... Both about an hour or so away from me... :smth023
Hmm...I hadn't thought about the sports angle to the rescheduling. This could work in our favor here in Nashville--no basketball here! (Although that also means no suitable arena, but hey.)
No hockey team either....even if they don't move. No Forsberg, Hartnell, Timonen, etc
That, I'll have to take your word for--although I did at least know they might move! :)
