Because you've already seen like 70 Weird Al concerts in the last year, so why would it be worth it to spend many hundreds of dollars just to go see two more shows in Canada? It's the very definition of not worth it.

First of all I saw two shows last year, and am going to at least one more this summer. Second of all, how does the number of shows I've been to affect my ability to judge whether it's worth dropping hundreds of dollars just to go to see one concert? I don't see the connection there. Does going to only two shows in the last year make me less of a Weird Al fan than you? Just askin'.

BTW, it's TWO concerts. And not just two concerts, but Al's two biggest shows in the past decade or so, since they're being filmed for television and a live DVD.

And yeah it does.

Just to be clear, you are saying that going to dozens of Weird Al concerts all over the country makes you a better Weird Al fan than someone who only sees Al play when he comes to their city?

Are you getting the just-for-Canada-and-Mexico passport or the everywhere-in-the-world passport?

Nah, not everyone Jon. Just you. Don't you feel special?? Hah.

The passport is for everywhere Ale. Is there a better one that I should be looking at? As far as I knew, there was only one for everywhere besides the Nexus cards, and other such like that...which I think are ever more stringent processes.

There's a passport card that's not for everywhere, that's why I was asking

Oh yeah. That's the one I was going to get. It's only $30 compared to the $110 of the regular passport. However, since Al didn't leave much notice with these new July dates, I have to add on a $60 expedition fee to get it fast, as well as, the $25 execution fee. I'm glad that they agency in Buffalo is one that can do the Passport Card. No way we could afford the regular passports with all of these other fees included. Since, my passport that I had 15 years ago to travel overseas has expired. So, yeah, the canada-mexico one.

Thanks for the help, though, Ale.

I was not addressing you. "Your Honor" refers to the presiding judge. In this case, the judge is everyone else reading this thread.
