there are a couple of shows/fests i am thinking of going to this year that i haven't gotten permission for which means it could all fall apart.
the one i REALLY want to go to is cock sparrer in chicago in october. they are only playing like 3 or 4 shows in the states and i love chicago. and october is my birthday month. so seems like a good time to go. plus i miss the pizza.
the other one is dirty south fest. i heard the business is playing. not sure who else. i think its 4th of july weekend (could be wrong).
anyone interested in travelling? months of notice. plenty of time to save up and all that jazz.

i would really, REALLY love to see cock sparrar! hank was talking about either the d.c. show or the show in texas. i don't care where it happens, it just needs to happen.
and where is the dirty south fest happening?

Probably not. Hell, PC Beach nearly broke me. But I'd love to, of course.

Isn't Dirty South Fest the same fest that said that 4-Skins or some other equally popular band were playing but hadn't even spoken to them?

well, chicago i think would give us the most time to save. that is still 7-8 months away. i'm pretty sure texas is in july. i'm not sure about the DC dates but i want to say like september or something. anyway, chicago would be the furthest away AND we could get kick ass pizza. i miss chicago pizza a lot.
not sure where DSF is happening. i want to say atlanta but i don't think that is right. maybe somewhere in SC? i'm really not sure. i can find out more details as it gets nearer.
oh, and i'm not sure about DSF and 4-skins. that sounds more like east coast oi! fest. i have heard that is pretty sketchy. but i don't know for sure either way.

i'll have to look at all the dates and see what i can figure something out. i don't care where i go to see them, i just can't take too much time away from the office so it'll have to be a date that's most feasible. and i can't be bribed with chicago pizza. ~hahaha~

according to their myspace page, here are the US dates and locations:
Friday, May 22 2009 -- Austin, Texas
Saturday, May 23 2009 -- San Antonio, Texas
Friday, October 9 2009 -- Chicago, Illinois
Saturday, October 10 2009 -- Chicago, Illinois
Saturday, November 14 2009 -- San Francisco, California
i don't see a DC date on there. so it's texas, chicago, or san fran.
i like october since its my birthday and i like chicago for pizza. and i know at least one person there. so that gets my vote. but i can be flexible. or go to multiple shows. haha

oh man, weekend shows! now that is very doable. i was afraid they would be mid-week and i'd miss most of a week to go. i can see a weekend trip though.

nah. my guess is even for a friday show, we could fly out that day and catch the show that night. come back the weekend. miss at most one full day.
in my experience, it takes pretty much 8 hours to fly from tallahassee to chicago (with layovers and whatnot). so if we caught like a 10 AM flight, we could be in chicago in our hotel by, say, 6PM our time (they are on central so that would only be 5PM there). plenty of time to get pizza (haha), get showered, get dressed, adn get to an 8PM or 9PM show.

From what I hear, those are not all the shows they will be playing in the US.
I thought I heard a rumor that the East Coast of Oi fest isn't happening this year at all. And, yeah, it was the one that had the problem with advertising the 4Skins then not delivering.

i just read that cock sparrer is playing 2 nights of riot fest in chicago and fear city is playing one of those nights as well. i thought originally they were playing one of the two dates i had listed in chicago they just weren't sure which so they posted both. looks like it may actually be both.
i'm pretty sure i'm going to this gig. i have some friends in ATL going up for the show and i know a couple of people in chicago. and it makes a damn good birthday present for my family to go together on and pay for my trip.
i've never seen cock sparrer before and i want to. a lot. and i like fear city. and i love chicago. this is just calling my name. i hope some of you can make the trip.

Honestly, Chicago would be the last place in the US I would want to see Cock Sparrer. Too many assholes in that town.

Yea I was looking more towards Texas since there are some other bands playing that are not skinhead bands. I don't really want to go to a show and be the only person with hair, that is asking for trouble.
