Forum MVP Rude Posted March 29, 2016 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 I was this close to pulling a ridiculous drive to do Seattle and Portland. Wiyhin the next 2 years I'm going to do a 6-8 show run on this tour. This year it looks like a perfect layout for a run grrrrr. Straight south the whole time with no zigzagging. This is the type of layout I wish was on summer tour. If this tour was designed like summer tour it would be berkley>Eugene>north Cali> Seattle> Portland. I really wanna dance on those crystal ballroom floors!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP Rude Posted March 29, 2016 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 I appreciate the offer regardless. It would have been interesting to find out if I'd be able to dance after 2400 miles and a night of sleeping in a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP John A Posted March 31, 2016 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Just noted the following in an email someone forwarded me delineating DSO's upcoming shows: "Tonight, our final West Coast tour of 2016 gets underway in Seattle." Surely that is a misprint, otherwise there is no West Coast fall tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Teacher Matt Posted March 31, 2016 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 according to Eaton per Facebook no west coast fall 2016 tour ... won't be back on west coast again until February 2017 so it is not a misprint ... the travel costs are brutal not to mention the massive miles put on the Prevost... the distance between cities west of the Mississippi are multiply times higher than the cities east of the Mississippi River DSO will focus on more southern and midwest tour dates come fall 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Rude Posted March 31, 2016 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 I also saw on Facebook that there are 2 TBD shows Tuesday and Wednesday right before Chicago. That means close enough to drive next day. I'm guessing St Louis outdoors is 1 of the shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP Rude Posted March 31, 2016 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Looks like the pic was removed that showed 6-23 and 6-24 TBA. But I'm on board if we get those dates. That would be a 5-show run without a break and that would be rare. Oooooh. B2b St Louis shows?? Maybe Nashville then St Louis then Chicago. Or maybe the TBA was never supposed to be on there in the 1st place, hence the pic being removed....or maybe......free Springfield show??? I mean you do the free show on a early weekday if you do it right? Or maybe a Louisville riverfront show? Nashville riverfront seems cool too. If fall gives us south and Midwest since no west coast, then I've got a shot of getting 30 shows this year. My cup Has been full. One of the better winters I can remember even if I didn't count all the shows I got. Better start saving and stop ordering from Amazon every 2 days to prepare for a 3 week tour of the south in October/November!!! No whammy. No whammy.

Forum MVP Rude Posted March 31, 2016 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Personally (and selfishly) I am not pleased with this turn of events... Yeah I sent a group text to some tour friends and was like this is a great turn of events for us. Then I realized Chuck was also in that group and was like sorry :/. Yeah this def sucks for you since you aren't touring like you had. Looks like u will just have to hit the airport and hop in with some of us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Mango Posted March 31, 2016 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 I hope to make 30 this year... 0 so far! Soon to be 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP chuckvegas Posted March 31, 2016 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 I'm looking at racking up 3 this year! And all in one place, with the only thing between the accommodations and the stage being a big fucking hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Teacher Matt Posted March 31, 2016 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 I hate that fucking hill ... it would take a landscaping company a day or two work to dig it out and lay wooden steps on said hill ... easy job really ....

Forum MVP Rude Posted March 31, 2016 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 If only you had a band Matt and were offered a spot to play, you could park behind the stage and have no hill. start auditioning bluegrass people and manage a band called Dead Grass. Problem solved. I would love to hear a bluegrass dead cover at jubilee. You would be the low cost option to grateful grass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goganious Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Sitting in a hotel room in Seattle as we speak, anxiously awaiting liftoff after a day strolling next to the Puget Sound. A beautiful couple of spring days in the PNW, with flowers blooming, birds singing little songs and then flying off, and bright sun shining through my window. Night 1 of 3, with 2 shows on the bouncing floors of the Crystal Ballroom to follow back home. But first? Tonight's tour kickoff at the Showbox Sodo. All I can think of is this: I couldn't be more thankful, I couldn't be more excited to dance with a bunch of smiling weirdos. I can't imagine my life without this music. I'm glad I don't have to. Thank you Grateful Dead and thank you DSO. Almost time now. Its gonna be a long, long, crazy, crazy night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of cool people and interesting sights up and down the hill road. And Mango is right, it counts toward your 10k steps a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Island Bro Posted April 1, 2016 Forum MVP Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 No more West Coast til '17. Ouch...shit. This news is a bit difficult to swallow. Well I've never been East of Minnesota in my life but I have a feeling DSO is what will get me out over thataway. Meanwhile,,we better soak up every minute of their west coast playing!

Forum MVP Rude Posted April 14, 2016 Forum MVP Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 I just found out that only malicious envy is a deadly sin and not plain envy. I don't want to hurt anyone or ruin their time b/c I'm envious. I just want to join in on the fun too!! *grabs rosary and does 10 Hail Marys for sloth and gluttony.

SunSue Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Have fun everyone starting the Boulder run tonight, they should be great shows as always there! Luckily, it looks like the rest of us will be able to listen along, if the technology cooperates. There should be a live stream tonight here: http://mixlr.com/denverman/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
