look at it in our perspective....in mine...they havnt come here in 4 years...4 fucking years...they rarely ever come to northcarolina, its not fair that the carolina fans get no shows in 4 years, and the texas fans get 4 in 1 year...im not asking for every fucking city, im just asking for them to come to my state for once...i mean i think they can skip one show in texas for one show in ncShiny wrote:Maybe next tour, they can schedule a stop on each day all summer, making sure that they chose to play in every single city for everyone who's too lazy to turn traveling to a concert into a possible fun road trip with your friends, or having your parents drive you if you're too young, or your 311 loving friend, whose mom doesn't give a shit about anything, drive you over there cause the mom doesn't give a shit and used to rock out to Zeppelin all over the country and got fucked multiple times by Jimmy Page, so she knows what its like. Maybe 311 will have the common courtesy to prevent such a horrible thing!!!!!

Jimy, I can understand what you're saying -- but you need to realize something. No matter how much we don't want to think so -- Touring is all about $$$ -- From the band's perspective, they love playing for us - but the main purpose is to make a ton of money. They go to places where they have a lot of Media support from the radio/newspapers and they play at venues that can support their setup, and that pay them well.slmjimy311 wrote:look at it in our perspective....in mine...they havnt come here in 4 years...4 fucking years...they rarely ever come to northcarolina, its not fair that the carolina fans get no shows in 4 years, and the texas fans get 4 in 1 year...im not asking for every fucking city, im just asking for them to come to my state for once...i mean i think they can skip one show in texas for one show in ncShiny wrote:Maybe next tour, they can schedule a stop on each day all summer, making sure that they chose to play in every single city for everyone who's too lazy to turn traveling to a concert into a possible fun road trip with your friends, or having your parents drive you if you're too young, or your 311 loving friend, whose mom doesn't give a shit about anything, drive you over there cause the mom doesn't give a shit and used to rock out to Zeppelin all over the country and got fucked multiple times by Jimmy Page, so she knows what its like.

If NC hasn't been getting many shows -- you can almost bet that one of those main factors is missing. Every city/metro area is competing to get a slot on the tour. Every major venue, every major radio station...
So you have to realize that it's not just the band neglecting to realize that they've missed NC for 4 years straight. There has to be a reason for it...
I know that it still sucks -- doesn't take away the sting... but there has to be a reason why.
All that being said -- bitching on the tour forum on the 311 bb can't hurt. Start a petition or something... and see what that does. If nothing else ... maybe you'll get an explanation for why they haven't been playing there.

What about Bristow, VA (NOVA)... ? Are you in the western part of NC or the coast?

well maybe you should move to texas, duhmiT_311 wrote:attention zak and jimenel....
isnt it kind of annoying that we have a reason to be mad and all of these people are being sarcastic and making fun of us because we have no shows near us?
i feel lucky i live in maryland, which is basically guaranteed a show within 4 hours driving distance every tour (b-more, DC, VA, NJ, PA...)
