World of Weird Al Yankovic

Another new date! I just thought I'd add this, since I didn't see a topic for it yet.

Yeah, this date has actually been up for awhile. I think it's funny. For a long time, and possibly it still may, on the hidden page of the Tickets listing, it had this show listed as being at New Bedford, NY. The same place that originally had the Allentown, PA show listed as Albany, NY. I guess they just Love New York.

This is a great place to see a show in New Bedford. I'm not going to be able to make it this time, since we have our Homecoming football game w/ parade on the 15th. Nor am I going to be able to make the NH show on the 16th. These places are just too far to even attempt an up-and-back drive.

Well, it's listed as new on the main page. Some of us don't know about the secret second page, or how to access it, and there wasn't a topic, so...

Ugh, really Al? A Cape Cod area show, a Boston show, and a New Hampshire show, three dates less than an hour apart, but not a single stop in Connecticut this tour? I love ya Al, but I ain't driving 2 and a half hours to see ya. I have no clue how much, if any, input Al has on his tour stops, but color me disappointed.

It is listed as 'new' on the tour page. Not sure why it still is, but it has been up since the last update a few weeks ago. I was only talking about its listing on the 2nd page for the reference to the New Bedford, NY listing. So...whatever.

Yes this show has been up on the main touring page for 1 1/2 - 2 weeks. I remember being excited to see another MA date, but then being disappointed it was New Bedford...

I agree; a show at Foxwoods or in Hartford would have made a lot more sense.

Ok, I stand corrected. So, why no topic until now?
At least people are talking about the show...

My guess is that so far nobody on WOWAY can go to this show, so no one bothered to start the topic. There's not much for people to say besides, " I'm not going to this one..." or "Why is Al going there instead of X..."

I can't really even imagine why Al is making this stop. Far South Eastern Massachusetts is a pretty desolate area in the non-summer months, and it's also kind of far off and remote for non-locals to attend. I remember when I worked for a certain movie theater chain, we had locations in South Eastern Mass and the Cape Cod area that would do more business from May through August than all the other locations combined did all year. From September through March however, it might as well have been a ghost town.

In another interesting story, when I was in Atlanta this Spring for WrestleMania, I met a guy that was from Boston, MA down at breakfast one morning. We mentioned to him that we had been up in MA at New Bedford. He's like, "New Bedford?? No one goes there!"
