I think it is cool that Keiv is starting this thread. Never too early buddy.

You rock.

Yeah, I'm down with the future. The distant future. The year two thousand. All humans are dead. Robots rule the world. Humans were so destructive that the robots had to destroy them. There are no elephants. There is also no more inhumane treatment of elephants.

but Captain, don't you think it is hypocritical that we destroyed the humans for being destructive? Doesn't that make us destructive?

Destroy him!

Keiv, you need to work your magic and get a show at Stubb's in Austin.

I have no magic. And magic shouldn't be required for them to play a show in Austin, the city that they played in more times on the Foiled tour than any other city.

second only to psychoneurosis, impatience appears to be a common trait among blue october fans

[keiv]

so over their touring history, blue october shows have been cancelled because of a hurricane, a blizzard, an earthquake, and now wildfires. what's next? a tornado? a volcano? an asteroid? hopefully none of the above.

[Wannabeyou]

Thanks keiv, this is awesome!

...wonder when they are coming back to MO...

oh and the tulsa show isn't too far from missouri either, depending on which part of missouri you live in. like if you live in springfield or joplin, then tulsa is pretty close.

[Heretik]

[krazykris8p]

Damn these boys are working arent they? I truly wish they would add a FULL TULSA set so that I can get back to OK to see my Blue Crew there.

Cains is one of my most favorite places to see them!
