In 4 years that I may pass on. I hate park west, not at all a fan of Carbon Leaf, and the only other show that I'd be able to get to is just a solo opening gig by SK at some place that I think is sitting only lol (been there done that and it really isn't fun).
Then there's the whole thing of me taking a stand this year on absurd shipping rates, so I'm not ordering the album lol.
I know getting way too picky and it's no ones fault but mine. Usually my love of the Sixers forces me to get over that stuff and support them. With money being tighter I don't see that happening this time around, though.
Also, maybe it's not just because of the money, it's partly because the last tour did leave me with bad taste in my mouth. Whether it was bad venues because it was a sauna, shit employees, or drunk assholes. I know some of you know what I'm talking about since I read about your bad experiences here on this board. Its not fun to put up with what seems to be an increasing number of non fans that show up cause tickets are still reasonable, and then drink too much because what the fuck do they care. Which in turn puts SK in a bad mood, because he inevitably and understandably will tell everybody to shut the fuck up cause they're being rude assholes which tends to kill the good time, if you were having a good time to begin with.
Anyhow I'm just saying...
PS I love the new format of the Website.
regardless I think you should still go to the show! I agree with you I absolutely hate when drunk fans (or like you said non fans!) ruin the show for me but like Britney said the SK6ers put on such great shows, don't limit yourself to seeing a great band just because of some losers in the crowd. Plus like you said the tickets are really reasonable so its not like you'd be losing out on a ton of money. Is it a far drive for you? I can see what your saying but I still think you should go to the show and see how it turns out, try getting up front where the true fans usually are I think that may help a bit! I hope you decide to go
