2007 Straight Outta Lynwood Tour

Tue Oct 23, 2007 4:10 am

If he does go for a second leg, I would love to see at least one more OC date. But as Al said in his blog, he will have a nice coma. I hope he enjoys his family coma since he deserves it from all the traveling, touring, polkaing, and being such a sweet person for six months.

I'm going to go to as many shows on either the 2nd leg or next tour, which ever comes first.

I'd love for there to be a 2nd leg, but if there's not, that's completely understandable because I know Al and TBITB have been going almost non-stop for months. A big thank you to each of them for making my first Al concert such a great experience. I can't wait to see more.

Yeah, I would personally love that! I mean, he hasn't come out here for a single show, and at this point, chances are I won't be able to make it back over to the mainland if he has another tour next year...It would be somewhat expensive for them to come out here, but I know that the show would probably sell out.

Right now Al is probably just thrilled down to his toenails not to be on a tour bus. I can totally understand him not wanting to even think about going out again. And not having him home has been tough on his family too. But judging by the intense touring schedule he had this time around, he'd certainly have no difficulty getting booked if he decided to do it! So let's wish Al a nice restorative, restful time at home and see what happens...

Indeed, you brought up a great point OE. I'm tired of the school bus when being on for only an hour. Al was on for six months. The last thing he's thinking about now is, "Hmmm, when to start the second leg..." I mean, I have my hopes for some more OC or Los Angeles shows, but before we get too hopped up on where Al should play, let's let him rest for a bit. I'm still tired from Saturday night, and Al's had those nights for days and days in a row, and he's plenty older than me! (No offense Al

)

So if Al does decide on a second leg with having enough time to spend plenty of much needed time with his family now and enough time to write songs for the new album in the future, I'm sure we'll all be as excited as ever planning trips, "sick" days, and saving money, but for now, let's let Al have a rest before worrying too much about if he will visit our state or city next year.

And I hope that didn't come out mean, I wasn't being angry or anything that people are wanting Al to come to (Insert City/State here), but I was just saying that before any of us get out hopes up too high, let's let Al have his much deserved time off with him family.

Yeah, he definitely does deserve his rest. In my 29 shows I saw on the tour, there was a few stretches of 8 or 9 in a row. I know how happy we were when there was a day off to rest without a concert. Although, their bus is a little different than driving it all yourselves, it still gets plenty tiresome, and now I know the feel. Trust me, anyone that hasn't done it, doesn't know what it does to you. You eventually end up not knowing where you are or what time it is. You just know that you're there for a concert.

Saying that, I really want to thank Al for everything he gave me this summer. I was so lucky to be a part of 29 shows, and get closer with everyone. This summer will definitely never be forgotten, and I hope that next summer comes with touring again. However, if not, it will be well worth the wait in a few years.

The longer Al waits to tour next, the more money I'll have saved which means the more shows I can go to, so either way I'm not complaining. I want Al & TBITB to get some well deserved rest

Yeah, that's all that I was trying to say. I would love to see a second leg, what with some people here on the forum coming from all over the world to visit anyways, but on top of my list, I want Al and TBitB to have a nice, long rest.

Personally, I'd prefer it if he would skip the second leg if it meant we could get an album sooner (after he gets his rest of course).
