I saw this a couple days ago. I really want to see Sugar Ray (seen them 6 times), Howard Jones & Rick Springfield (seen him twice). I need to figure something out (and scrape the money together for one of them FL resident 3 or 4 day passes). Sugar Ray's & Rick's shows are weekdays, but HoJo is a weekend. Ugh.

That looks great! I wonder if I can just move there for 2 months?

Definitely some good picks in there. I just wish my favorites weren't all on weekdays.

You can stay with me Susie, we have an extra bed just your size. :P

Oooo, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy!


I want pics if anyone goes to the shows! cough(Summer)cough

Personally I'd love to go see Howard Jones. The last time I saw him was around 1990. He puts on a great show.

I'd suggest not seeing that incarnation of Starship... they played my hometown a couple years ago, and were incredibly bad. Whoever they had singing Grace Slick's part sounded like a dying animal when trying to do White Rabbit.

I'd love to see him, too. I last saw him in 1986.
