Those tour dates I posted a little while ago turned out to be legit. They're doing dates in North Carolina too for some odd reason, but I am the ever-so-ecstatic proud co-owner of pairs of tickets to the 7/27 and 7/28 shows. Steph and I are going!!! Netphoria is already going nuts with who's going when and where and travel plans and all. Mike Gaddy already let me know he's going...somebody's driving down from Vancouver (I don't recognize the screen name, but I've met most of the Vancouver-area SP freaks...) It's going to be insane and I can't wait!!!!
The ticket experience was amusing. They've limited it to 2 tickets per person, you have to pick them up at Will-Call outside the venue, then you're shuffled directly in the door. No scalping is the goal, but of course there are ebay auctions up already (how this will work with the restrictions in place I have no idea...) So Steph and I went in to work this morning to use good computers on reliable high-speed internet, did the Ticketmaster thing right up to 11:00 (10:00 PDT- the official on-sale time), and had both confirmations by 11:01. Reports are that as of 11:08 there were no tickets left for any of the original 8 S.F. dates. Then they tacked on 3 more shows and those are sold out as well.
End result...we have to figure out how we're getting there and all now, but we'll fly out Friday, shows Fri & Sat evenings, come back Sunday, and I'll be one happy boy.
Oh, and the first single has leaked and it's the Pumpkins in old-school SD/MCIS era rawkin' mode. I can't wait for the rest :-D

If you belong to Triple A, they have some fantastic deals for hotels for the weekend. I used to stay at the Hotel Nikko (4 star) for $89/night.
Congrats!
