I wasn't sure if I should start my own thread or not. So I'm just jumping in here.

May 2004....that's the last time Jimmy did an 'easy-access', 'affordable' show in Colorado.

2004!! we're coming up on 6-years since he's played a show in a state where he used to live, has proclaimed he loves and where his fans (especially on this site) are rather abundant.

I don't care what day of the week, just please....?!?!?!

If there's an "issues" with facility management or ticket sales or parking-lot cleanliness....or whatever, can someone just tell us? Please!!

gotta agree here too. I might try to make it down for the pre-game show, but the odds of making the concert so close to the Dallas date, and one on a Monday no less.. It's just not making a lot of sense to me.

I'm sorry but those areas that get shows anually or bi-annually have no reason to complain. Like Hippolyte's area many haven't seen shows in YEARS.

Why not? Who gets to judge who is allowed to complain and who isn't?

I'm just basically reiterating Shannon's statement. Like Shannon I can travel to shows where I know others that can't.

Excuse me for voicing my opinion. I guess I have no right.

You call that jumping on your shiat? You said he had no reason to complain. I asked why not.

St louis in april?
As for jeans at the concert, I've worn MITTENS at Alpine - and those were late June and Late August dates.

hums "the weather is here..."
Weather is always a crapshoot. Go prepared with lots of freese proof beverages... [smilie=beadygrinner.gif]

Calm down y'all....

I didn't mean to imply you couldn't complain.....just saying....that some areas won't get a show at all....complain away. I'll proably complain "some" if he doesn't announce a NC show....but I also will travel to a few shows so will keep my complaing to a minimum! :D

I actually almost started a Complaining thread so we could keep all of our complaining to one location...The "He's not playing my area, he cancelled our shows, he's playing our area at a bad time, I wanted a Saturday show, he's only doing one show in our area, he hates the west coast, ticketmaster sucks, he's only in it for the money, he never plays anything good, I can't believe the ticket prices, he released the dates too soon, he didn't release the dates soon enough, the lots aren't opening until _______, I can't beleive how much it is to park, I never get to see boobies" thread. It' make my job moderating easier - I'd only have to look at one thread!

STL weather in April is a crapshoot. When the sun goes down it is almost always cool but the rain is really the problem. It seems like it rains damn near everyday in April.

Wah! [smilie=cwl.gif] Jimmy's coming to Cincy on a Monday in May! [smilie=cwl.gif]
Bummer! Jimmy hasn't been in Seattle since... I can't remember when . . . 1979? :roll:
The last time he was even near Seattle (White River/Auburn) was 7 years ago! :evil:
