Charlottesville

It's virtually a necessity that you guys trek through your old North Carolina stomping grounds--Chapel Hill? Winston? Charlotte?

How about a vote for your old north of the Mason-Dixon stomping grounds then as well. NYC, Hoboken. I can think of a few folks up in New Haven, Providence and Boston too whom of which wouldn't mind seeing y'all.

Well hell. If ya'll do Philly and Charlotte, you might as well do the NorVa in Norfolk. I'd be at that one, fer sure!

Thanks for all the good ideas. I think the band is going to get to work on a new record rather than hop in a van. We are indeed playing in Chicago this year, maybe a few other places, but our idea is more festivals and "special events" (like the outdoor festival we are playing in the Windy City).

Maybe next year, if there's a new record.

The Southgate House would certainly be nice eventually, a great room.

Maybe on a boat on the Hudson?

Chris.

My friends and I that were at your Southgate House show would certainly put the word out. I think the db's in that old mansion would be a truly great experience.

By the way, your show that night ranks as one of the best I've seen. You were truly gracious and professional that evening. Thanks.

Is that Mike Tittel who used to drum for the Loud Family? Man, it's a cult heroes' clubhouse in here...

An observant "old fan" indeed.

Hey, Chris!

I don't much care for boats, actually it's my stomach. But. I'd board that boat, skipper!

There's actually a Rock Cruises thing here in NYC. If yr serious maybe check into that as that would be a definite *event!* Heck, y'all could see both Manhattan and Hoboken cruising down the Hudson, eh?

Yr old pal Danny (Daddy O Grande) Amis and his Los Straitjackets men are doing another one this year that I'm thinking about stocking up on the Dramamine for.

Hudson River, yes yes yes!!!

Would the reunited band consider Canadian tour dates (specifically Vancouver on the west coast)? For that matter, did they even play anywhere in Canada in their first go-round?

Now in my mid-30s, I was young and still living in my hometown back then -- too small of a backwater berg to hear much live music. It's sleepy enough that Russell Crowe's surprise one-off there a few nights ago rated a national news story in Canada!

I didn't scroll through all the tour date info, but FYI, the Chicago show 9/17 has been switched to House of Blues.

How about the Fall Arts and Music Festival in Hoboken? I think it's always on a Sunday in September, outdoors on Washington Street.

I second Ed's suggestion! That's a very dB's-friendly festival. Just a sampling of acts in the past decade: NRBQ, Yo La Tengo, Patti Smith, the Rascals, Roger McGuinn, Ronnie Spector, Fleshtones, Willie Nile, Tom Tom Club, Freedy Johnston, Southside Johnny, Marshall Crenshaw, Peter Noone, John Sebastian, Tin Huey, etc. etc.
