No big surprise. :D What I do find odd is that they travel New York --> Washington --> Philadelphia. In 1999, they went Washington --> New York --> Philadelphia. Philedelphia lies between New York and Washington, though.

Baltimore would still be nice, but I will not hold my breath.

I wonder how many more dates they can squeeze in between the gaps. At least 6-7 dates between 18th Feb to 03 March is my guess, and that leads us to over 22 concerts. Then every tour the last years look pale in comparison. ;)

In '99 the gig in Mexico City took several days off the live schedule, if not a week? Surely they will play somewhere Texan, another one in Florida but also surely head down the detonation boulevard like last time :-)

Yes! Now I can see dead bodies and an even deader band, all in the same day.

Or is that a semi-dead band and even deader bodies?

2006 is a VERY good year. :D

Yes, you're right. Then it'll be Mexico and first time Texico...eh.. I mean.. Texas - I hope they don't forget to bring their cowboy hats. :)

it isn't THAT interesting, though. More of a freakshow than an anatomy course.
Put their heads on f*cking pikes in front of the venue for all I care.

Pfft. Us bitter ones know full well that the US tour is just one big Near Meth gig and that we're getting the real tour mid 2006 ;)

Hee hee....considering the same, too tempting. Fanboys and girls, indeed.

So I assume you're going to the Philly show? :D I'm about 75% sure of trekking on down...

So NY is (almost) sold out? Some of you were planning to go to Philly as well - have you been able to buy any tickets for that? I can't find any place to buy them...

As of now I plan to head to:
  • Las Vegas (tickets in hand already)
  • New York (but I just noticed that the pre-sale is sold out :urff: Do you have any extras?),
  • Washington (I will pick up tickets in person when they go one sale,; I may want to get more than 4 for that one), and
  • Philadelphia
I will see if I can get any more shows in.

You can buy them at the Sisters ticketing service. I just logged in for the first time so don't know if it was available earlier.

I hate those things, those, those jobs!

I'm 85% (due to CorpPunk's pressure) on doing Philly...but with no wheels, it means Amtrak down there and back.

Anybody coming into NY thinking of going that way? Train gets to 30th Street station, venue is at 77th Street, I believe. Will check Amtrak, unless someone has better way.

Got my tickets for Philly yesterday (to Germany), thus well before the stated "one week prior to the event". I had ordered them a couple of days after they were up on the Sisters pre-sale page. So I guess most people should get their tickets before they fly away across the pond :-)

bump for tomorrow's show... who's going?

i'm 99% certain i'll be there with my friend's teenage son in tow -- his first Sisters gig.

not wanting to pay the $18 service fee on 2 tix, i think i'll just buy them at the door.

Good Morning Class,

The only thing keeping me awake at this point is a nasty combination of Red Bull, Jaegermeister (sp) and ringing ears. The ringing ears are more from the sound system at Shampoo than from the Sisters. I hope everyone had a nice time and my apologies to anyone that my dear friend George and I might have banged into when we tried to stir things up during "Vision Thing." George and I were at the Trocadero show on the Vision Thing tour and have always wondered why the Philadelphia fans just stood around and bobbed their heads for such a brilliant song.

The show was not sold out but the crowd in front seemed to have a nice time. We stood in the far balcony for the first three songs and the sound was comfortably loud but Andrew's vocals were buried. As expected, it didn't sound any better down in front. I didn't take notes but the set list seemed to be a mix of the previous shows. As previously mentioned there were many video phones. There was one fellow with a camcorder on a monopod in the stage pit area. The only comment I could make out from Andrew was towards the end of the show and was something about the number 2,000.

To Eva and the other gentleman that I offered Philadelphia travel guidance to, I hope you enjoyed your visit the the "City of Brotherly Love" and that you have a safe journey to your next stop on the tour.

Off to bed,

Michael
