      You don't get out and about much eh? Yeah it's just a little south of Catalina Island..,

        Here are the directions from Japan to California, including a stop in Hawaii. Pay close attention to step #27.

          When they announced the 2007/08 Tour, I thought they'd tour Europe, Japan and Australia, as in a joke Dave talked about "saving" them
          during the press conference.

          at more or less 4:00


          That was in early September 2007, a new album was "planned". They are only recording it now (hopefully...)...
          The American Tour was a huge success - but VH did not cross the Atlantic, nor the Pacific.

          They're taking their time, to say the least...

            Pull this and it plays "Everybody Wants Some"......Nothing is going on until the Brothers wango and Tango say so....Until it is released from a press conference....Nuthins doing!

              Is that August in Australia time or U. S. time? I mean they pick up their Garbage on Monday's and Wednesdays (just plain weird) and thier Bidet's shoot Chicken Soup or something right, so maybe they meant Smarch (Damn Misprinted Calenders).

                With Ed on the wagon here's to the album getting out with in a month or 2 of its "planned" release. The last time he was like this was Balance. That was the only time I believe he was sober. Looking forward to it.

                    Alright smart ass, very funny.

                    I know it's across the damn ocean. Just wasn't sure the difference in distance between there & Japan where VH has played. Looked it up, these are for non-stop flights.

                    Los Angeles to Sydney = 14 hour 55 minute flight

                    Los Angeles to Tokyo = 11 hour 45 minute flight

                    For the extra 3 hours, I'd much rather go Down Under than turn Japanese.

                    What was fucking me up was my friend who has lived in Beijing for a few years just flew back to NYC and it was a 19 hour flight.





                    But wait...shouldn't the flight to Australia be faster than the return since you are going downhill?

                        I HAD to. How else would you have gotten the chance to use that smiley?

                            I once flew to New York via Japan - flight took a full blown day 24 hours (not including stop over). Will never do that again...unless I pay extra dosh for a first/business class ticket and (hopefully) get seated next to a good sort, and get served cookies. (ala Seinfeld)
