I think Al should play San Diego in later July.
I'm (probably) going to be at the San Diego Comic Con then, and I'd suppose there'd be a lot of Al fans there...


...I mean c'mon! 100,000 people go there every year - I'm sure there's many Al fans in there somewhere.

What do you (and by that, I mean anyone) think is the largest amount of seats Al could fill at a venue he's going to perform at?

I may have an offer of somewhere to stay in Bakersfield CA. What are the odds of the tour going near there?

Al usually sells out concerts, doesn't he? And probably about 15-25 people don't show up.
