Tampa is close enough to drive to. Atlanta is a bit of a trek. Forget raleigh and charlotte. The only reason NC was on for last year was because I had family in the area. I won't be doing the 10 hour drive again though.

With the exception of tampa (which is a 4 hour drive) there are no others on the ENTIRE schedule within a comfortable drive.

I am glad to see jimmy is doing some west coast dates as I feel that the west coast has been slighted in recent years.

But so is the south.

All the shows are within a week of each other but way too far for roadtrips. more than half the shows are on weeknights AND if you are going to one... basically you can't go to the others because of driving with the proximity of dates. virginia, north carolina, ohio, the entire north east, new york, the midwest... all get SEVERAL dates.

The entire south gets two spaced 9 hours (driving time) apart.
I must have failed geography, because I only know of one in OH

as you pointed out those they have SEVERAL dates well within less than a four hour drive. you could leave on saturday morning and drive back the next day and not have to miss a lick of work is you are one of those lucky people who don't have to work weekends.

They only were put on the list because of the point you made.

I guess I'll have to settle for some distant show since I probably won't make it down the road to see him in Charlotte. :wink:
I hear Frisco is nice around the end of April. Is the pond big enough for a jet ski?
It doesn't matter if it's sunny or not I'm going to still party in Frisco. :pirate: [smilie=bunny.gif] [smilie=cool_goatee.gif]

Mohegan's disappeared from the margaritaville.com website (maybe buffkid66 has tix. :roll: :roll: ) but mohegan and hartford are an hour away. He easily could have made Hartford the Tuesday gig between Camden and Great Woods.

When life gives you lemons (or a concert schedule, with nothing near you)....bust out the tequila and salt: what's the furthest you've traveled for show? I've gone from Richmond, VA to Boston/GW a couple times, but only because we go with the same group every year
