Exactly! If we didn't talk about it, and share our plans as the excitement was building, who knows if the crowd would have been so big. Pam, you should have seen our heads hung low when we left the Eventide. It is hard to say goodbye! We are family, having a family reunion.
If we hadn't had the beach day this would have been one of my worst cases of PCL ever. The good news is we have other plans this summer that will bring many of us together again.

Very true indeed, on all accounts!

Doesn't this post say it all?

First, sorry if some of you think this place is 'overmoderated'.

There really are VERY few times we have to do any kind of moderating anymore, except to delete the spammers.
Second. The point is kinda this:
There is no current tour date for 2013
There is no rumor of one.
Kinda hard to have a Pre-Concert Gathering if there's no concert.
Is there any good reason that this couldn't remain open in the Social area for the year?
No offense is intended.. you're a great group of folks, and understand your enthusiasm and friendships.
Thanks..

This exact idea was suggested yesterday (below) and shot down by a different mod.

So are you saying this is now an option?
I think I can speak for everyone and say we don't care where the thread lives we just want it somewhere were we can congregate. Here or there is fine, if people don't care or are sick of reading about GW they can simple take Larry's suggestion.

Well, respectfully, no. Please just hang on a few months, then start making plans when the show is announced like all the rest of us do. Thanks!

The 'move' in question when originally asked was to the "Tour Dates and Rumors" forum, not the Social.

Y'all can plan away there, until the show is announced for 2013, and we'll move it back to the WGT Forum.
The thread in no way is offensive.

Just trying to keep threads where they should be. And that goes with ANY thread started on this board. Thanks much.
