    When I live IN San Diego, the travel to the Sports Arena was never more than about 20 minutes from anywhere I lived in town. Since I moved, it's about an hours drive. Maybe 1:15 with traffic. But seriously considering moving again before the shows hit the west coast. That will make the nearest venue about 6 hours. Ouchies.

    But I've driven 5 hours to Vegas to see both Roth and Van Halen before. No biggie. I kinda like road trips anyways. Play cd's & eat food I'd never eat otherwise.

          Wait though. You are forgetting to calculate the reduction of miles due to freeness of the ticket and what type of show it was. A Friends & Fans rehearsal for free should knock off about 2359 miles from that. The more epic the show, the less you can claim on your return or something like that.

            If I don't move, I will see them in San Diego and probably Vegas. I don't like Los Angeles shows. Crowds are different, parking SUCKS, traffic SUCKS, I always feel like I'm gonna get robbed, freeways confusing as shit, etc. Drive to Vegas is easy & fun. I can play some video poker the next morning too.

            But if I move, it will have to be the Oakland show :-( Never been to a show there but Oakland stinks. it might be cool since that's where their epic show was way back. Unless they add any WA or OR shows.

                LOL...i know right? Oakland would only be a "have to" type of situation. LA is a choice. So if it takes a couple bullet wounds and a lost wallet & watch, I'll do it to see Van Halen. I can go to the hospital after the show.

                    I will be travelling to Buffalo to hook up with some fellow Army members in March,

                    and then flying 2200 miles to see them in Vegas in May. And if they add a Cleveland

                    show, well, that is mandatory for many of us who have met there twice before for

                    DLR at the house of blues and Van Halen at the Q. Cleveland gets a bad rap in my opinion,

                    we had a blast on both occasions and I can't wait to go back.

                    I have decided that if they hit any one of the following, I am in for at least one of them:

                    Hong Kong, Sydney Australia, Manilla Philippines.

                    That is if they ever figure out that "World" includes more than just North America

                    So, how far will you be travelling this tour?
                    And you want me to buy you a shirt for your bday
                    Lol.....

                              I live in Mexico that means I'll never EVER be able to go to L.A. or New York or nowhere to see my heroes. If Van Halen won't come to Mexico on a tour, Im positive I'll never see them live in my whole life
                              I had some crazy vision, one I can't deny it
                              It said "Open your eyes. Leave it all behind."
