Thanks so much....I wonder when it will be officially confirmed at weirdal.com...and I'm even wondering if I should wait to see if weirdal.com has presale before getting tickets at this presale. Maybe weirdal.com would give out better seats...hmm...

I know.

What to do...

Has anyone else shelled out the money for the VIP seats? I figured its a short tour this year so I can get away with going to two or three shows and splurging on one. I got front row, almost dead center for the Baltimore show. Only problem is, I work the next day, hopefully I can have a new job by then where I dont have to work Saturdays. If not, its gonna be a crappy day at work again, just like the last Baltimore show. Oh well, its Al!

SEVA.

Seva--are you planning on staying in New YOrk City for the Westbury show?

In that case, YES--its easy to get to Westbury from NYC--in fact, there is a train that stops a mile fromt he venue. Dave took it last summer.

If you're staying in some other New York State city (like Rochester or Buffalo) potentially that is a VERY LONG DRIVE. NY may not be Texas, but its also a lot bigger than it may seem--you can drive for 8 or 9 hours to get from point A to point B in NY state.

I'm just bringing this up as I was not clear from what you said WHERE your friends are!

(and if you're coming to Westbury--cool! I'll see you there!)

If anybody is interested, the lifetime 'Live Show' total is up to 1060.

Steggy, thanks for advice! My friends, some of my relatives and some of my friends' relatives do live in New York City (as far as I know), on the Brighton Beach coast, which is a huge congregation of Russian immigrants. So... it seems that the Westbury show works perfectly for me, right?

It's a sign.

I am so pumped up for this leg of the tour! I do hope he does "Virus Alert" this time.

Time for setlist speculation?

I'm hoping for Don't Download This Song (Don't Bootleg This Song)

Post by **Big Spoon** » Thu Mar 20, 2008 4:08 am

I don't think the setlist will change, other than new lyrics to the HN verse and maybe a few of the "in between song routines." In the past, Al has kept the shows pretty much the same for different legs of a tour.
