Nice to see all your u.s. fans are hanging out for the tour. Nice to hear that Jeff is playing well too. He is the backbone and quite a talented musician in his own right.

Jamz27 ~ that really blows! Is there anyone older you can go with? Maybe if your with someone older they'll let you in. Hell, get somebody in line to say they're your uncle or something. I don't know how that particular venue is run, but they might not be to strict? Then again...call the place & see what the rules are. Is it absolutely no one under 21 no matter what the circumstance?

Dave, they have alot of beautiful Celtic designs if your looking for something like that. Leave your options open and you'll be amazed with all the cool stuff you can find. Tell the guy what you have in mind. Say something like "I want something Irish!" LOL! My last tat was a gold Celtic braid with a big green jewel in it (I'm Irish too). If your getting it on your arm, it's no sweat. Chest, back, leg...that'll put a hurtin' on ya. If you don't find anything you want to spend the rest of your life with, go home. Buy some mags & see if you can get an idea for something you like out of one of them. Good luck :)

Ya'll- I feel silly, as though I SHOULD be able to figure this out...here's my predicament.

Quantum: Your welcome.

MINUS HUMAN...

Switching from 4 to a 5, eh? A few things to keep in mind when you're doing this...

1. You're not the only one to have trouble converting... this means that there will be five-strings of all feels to allow for anyone to use a five...

2. It has to feel right! I don't mean like.. "Hmmm... I could get used to this," I mean like, "Holy cow! I love this!" (There's one out there somewhere... don't worry)

Desiree - Hi. Go to the road section and scroll all the way to the bottom. You'll find links there to all of the old tour pages. Go to the one for the year that you're looking for and then scroll down to find your date. Click the "p" and you should see the pictures. Make sense? If not, let me know and I'll try to reexplain myself.

It is Stu not Boo-

Quantum - Yes, synesthesia. Thanks for the new word in my vocabulary. Kandinsky was a pioneer in his time. His work influenced the abstract expressionists ( DeKooning, Pollack, Kline, Gorky) who came about in NYC in the 40's/ 50's. This is when Soho was a no mans land, these artists helped make Soho. Think about what was happening musically.

Naty, cool site. Yeah, joe is full of colour, he's "Saturated". Some of his music gives me incredible visuals, and emotions.

Rock San Diego, Rock!

Jamz27, I know for a fact that Joe & the band don't like playing 21 and over shows. Here are Joe's words from a conversation we had on T2J. I think it was March '00 or 01 - "....yeah. "all ages" venues are the way to go...the band likes it better that way too!...once again i will stress it to our agent and promoters..." This must be out of his hands. I'm sure he hates it as much as the rest of us, but what's done is done. That doesn't necessarily mean that you won't be able to get in.

JOE, CAN YOU HELP THE KID OUT?? HE ALREADY BOUGHT THE TICKETS!

As much as this isn't right, it really goes to show that the under 21 folks really need to check the fine print before they buy tickets. ASK before you buy. Man, $80 bucks is alot of money to throw down the tubes. If all else fails, maybe you can sell them (although thats illegal I think), but $80 bucks is $80 bucks!

Michelle: Well, I guess I could have asked before I bought, but who would of thought Joe's show would be 21 and over. ALSO, I think if its a 21 and over show, Ticketmaster should let you know BEFORE you buy the tickets. You HAVE to be 21 to buy alcohol here, so I dont see why they would not have said at least something about it.

Quantum: I didn’t know that synesthesia was the right word! Thanks! If this thing struck you it means you don’t get images in your mind while you listen to music?

LooWho: I’m glad to see there’s another…synesthetic Joe’s fan!

PhryDom (Dave): sssshhhh! Don’t tell anyone that is my real name, I’m working incognito for Secret Service! ;-D You want names? Send me those ideas and I’ll give you names! (As secret agent, my speciality is giving names! ;o))

Sharon: I’m almost ready to go to the seaside, I’ll bring my raincoat!!!

ethn - You can go to www.ticketmaster.com and pretend to buy tickets. Ask for a pair and see what it spits out at you... Everything closer than that has been sold. So you can use that as a way to see what percentage of the tickets have been sold out. I've been checking with Ticketmaster every few days and it looks like this show is 90%-95% sold out. It may very well completely sell out by the time the show starts.

Jaymz27 - Well, there is all of that drinking and swearing and violence at Joe's shows...maybe that's why it's 21 and over. Sorry. ;-) Seriously now, Joe doesn't like the 21+ only gigs. He does everything he can to keep things all ages. If it's a 21+ show, it's most likely the promoter (the evil Clear Channel [http://www.clearchannelsucks.org/]) that is behind the age restriction. They probably have something in Joe's contract where they get a percentage of the alcohol sales. If it's an all ages show, the bar would be closed, and they wouldn't make their money.

PhrygianDominant - Yeah, I still want to change my username. I can't think of anything good though. I REALLY like Strange Beautiful Stoooer, but that name is too long for the site. So I guess I gave up. I'll think of something cool eventually, and then I'll make the switch.

guitaurus - I'm just making sure that we understand each other... I'm talking about the drive from Sacramento to LA, not the drive from Yakima to Sacramento. I've never been up to Washington state. Sorry if I confused you before. I was just saying that I live about 30-45 minutes north of Sacramento, and I usually average 7 hours for the drive down to LA... So it would probably take you closer to 6 hours because you're in Sacramento already. Make sense? Sorry if I'm confusing you... Enjoy the show! :-)

Naty --- hmmm... i don't always get a mental image when i hear music. But synesthesia refers to more of a syndrome i believe. Some people, in fact, suffer from it and it gets in their way of doing things sometimes. Like a certain smell may always invoke the colour blue?

2 TON TESSIE - The shorter set shouldn't be a surprise. It was known since before tickets went on sale that Joe would be playing a shorter set. There are people on this site that decided to not see Joe this time around...they're waiting for the Evening With... tour later this fall. Even though Dream Theater is closing the show you're planning on seeing, they will still get the same amount of time that Joe gets. Don't worry. If you don't care to hear King's X, plan on arriving late. I don't know what else to say. This tour isn't a surprise to me. I knew we would get a short set. I knew that I would miss some of my favorite songs. On another note, King's X are not anti-Christian. They are Christians in a band but they are not a Christian band, if that makes sense. They're just like Creed and Collective Soul and quite a few other bands that are out there. Check out this old article for more info.

WhiteRabbit - Welcome to the site. How did you discover Joe? Do you have a favorite song or album yet?
