    LOL, basically Greensboro consists of the University of North Carolina/Greensboro, the Greensboro Coliseum, and, and, that's it....

    It just so happens that for the 2nd tour in a row, VH has played there on a Saturday night, hence the meetups.....

    Capacity-wise, the Coliseum can hold a couple thousand more for your normal concert than most arenas....

      North Carolina has always been an interesting slot for bands to come and play. Between Raleigh, Charlotte and right here in good ole' Raleigh...every major act comes and plays. I saw the Stones at Wallace Wade at Duke in 2005, and saw U2 at Carter Finley in Raleigh in 2009...

      To go along with a bunch of other shows at Greensboro, RBC and the outdoor venues around...

      But Greensboro is probably the one place most all bands hit for indoor shows...partially because of the size...and partially because of the promotors...

      Strange shit indeed...

                  After going through various options I've come to the conclusion that if I do go to a gig on this tour it will be this one.

                  Very far from definite at the moment maybe 40% but I have worked out a way to do it if things line up right...

                    Sorry, but Greensboro has a strict No-Scot rule....

                      If it happens then we'll be partying like you are back in the Far East whether you like it or not while apparently Pojo will be at the petting fucking zoo or swing park or something.

                      WTF?

                        What's the weather like in Greensboro in April?

                        I take it I can come in national dress, a kilt with no underwear, galoshes and a t-shirt?

                            That's generally my outfit...well...minus the kilt...

                                Now we definitely need to add Icon to this equation...
