I'm from Minnesota- and I will easily fly out to see these 3- but I'd rather not. Am I suppose to wait and keep my fingers crossed, or if they book, say, in Wisconsin, do I immediatly get tickets? What if they come no where near me- are we going to know which show is the last so I can at least have a chance at getting good seats?
I have NEVER flown out to see anyone perform, so you can see how much I would like to see them. Regretting that I have not been to Beastie Boy shows when they've been here in the past! :(

I will definitely do Milwaukee and Chicago...and hopefully one or more in Minneapolis, St. Louis, Detroit or Cleveland...but depends on $$$ and days of the week.

It's promising that they booked a date before the Philly show in NY. So i'm hoping that they are working booking the midwest real soon!!!

Its starting to not look good for a Chicago show. Allstate Arena would be the most likely place that they would play and its pretty booked up the last couple of weeks of September between the Vancouver and Fairfax shows. Might still have a shot that first week of October.

I feel your pain MidwestPain. There are 17 days between the Vancouver and D.C. show and i just found out my wife is traveling on business twice for a total of 6 days during that period. Which means I'll be Mr. Mom so i'm hoping that the Milwaukee and Chicago shows land on the other 11 days.

I'm hoping we get some info soon...or i'm booking my trip to New Orleans and/or Atlanta.

Im still holding off on traveling. Its hard for me since I have an 8 year old son and my job requires quite a bit of notice to get time off. Makes me wish I was a teen again...well maybe not. Yes I know its been said before, but that is the worst part of the way they are releasing these dates. I remember when bands would list their tour dates a year in advance...of course half those dates were cancelled or postponed, but at least you had some notice. I just really hope to get to see these guys live again...once again, due to my age, most of the music I enjoy the bands are no longer touring or dead.

OMG you are not THAT old! You made it sound like you were in your 40's, and I'm only a few weeks older than you are! :eek:
