Indeed, Johan phoned me for our flight details.

I'm doing, um, 'the lot'.

That'll be the same J****** S**** who claimed he was retiring last time around, then?

iwill be coming to the new york show fron sunny enger land

chicago only, unless someone wants to pay for me to go to NYC ;) i'm so excited, i keep checking this forum like every five minutes for any updates that may have happened in the last five minutes

I will Be at the NYC Gig, cant wait ot see you all there

Chicago.  Leaning toward NYC as well but my wife's car is dying:dead:

Just Oakland and Coachella here.

Chicago. I'm the same way Kamar.

I'll be at Oakland, Chicago and New York.  Any Brits from New York travelling?

Possibly Chicago, but nothing is for sure yet.  Any guesses on when the Chicago show might sell out?

Oakland and, after an exciting Cannonball Run/Smokey and the Bandit style overnight drive, Coachella.

I expect to report to the New York show, sir.

I bought a ticket to the Chicago show since New York hasn't been confirmed.  If it *EVER* gets confirmed (what the hell is taking so long???) and the show's not held way out in the burbs somewhere, then I'll be selling my Chicago ticket.   -jeff

oakland, coochella, and nyc...i'm so PISSED i can't make it to chicago.

You just have 1 ticket Jeff?

Chicago ... yay!

Oakland and Coachella.  HOPEFULLY Chicago and NYC, but...... funding and work problems ....

I am definitely going to San Francisco and hopefully NYC.  Just as soon as there is an NYC!

Oakland & Coachella

Did you rend an ambulance and rented a fake doctor? :D

I'll have to rely on my girlfriend to play doctor.

Oakland only. Though I bought a ticket for Coachella, I have to sell it now :(

Really looking forward to see them in NY...

I'll look into the details...$$$$

sub1911

Just Oakland.

A group of friends and I will definitely be going to the NYC show... wherever it is!

I'll be there for NYC...man, I haven't seen them since Republic, when they came to Giants Stadium in NJ...

Oakland and Coachella!

I will be in Chicago. ANyone coming from TX? Im in San antonio.

Are we allowed to post email addresses on here?? I would be willing to post my cell num or email so I can meet up with some of u nuts before or after the show. That NEO afterparty sounds great. Cant wait to get loaded in a whole other state....  :D

for me, oakland and coachella.  god bless you cannonball runners... that's just awesome

Trippin over from East Sussex UK to the Chicago and NYC dates...ohhh yes!! :D

New York definately!!!!!! I have been waiting for this since 1986!!! I have a feeling that it will sell out  really fast unlike Chicago! Especially if they do play Hammerstein.

I can't wait  until more info is posted-concerning venue and ticket sales!

Breaking my 15-year boycott of the Aragon for the Chicago gig. It had better be worth it! ;)

The place just has to be the world's worst venue to see a show. Too many reasons to list, but number one has to be the atrocious sound quality of the place. It sounds like you're in an airplane hangar listening to a show - and that's a polite way of describing it. But since this'll possibly be my one last chance to see NO (I saw them at the World Music Theatre in Tinley Park, IL in '93) again I figured I'd suck it up.

To put it in perspective: One of my all-time favorite bands is the Pixies. I saw them in '91 in Denver but they didn't play anything pre-Doolittle and I was bummed. Pixies reunite for gigs last year (as we all know about). Where do they play in Chicago? 5 nights at the Aragon. Did Drew see the Pixies last year? No. Would Drew have moved mountains to see the Pixies at any other venue in Chicago? Damn straight I would have.

But I love New Order more than the Pixies, which is why I'm sucking it up this time around. BTW the Pixies aren't the only band I've skipped seeing because they were at the Aragon - I'd have to say I've skipped around 20-30 shows over that period that I'd have seen in a heartbeat at nearly any other venue.

i'll be at new york.

Man, you are crazy for having missed those crazy nights!

I was there for all shows, front row and the sound was fucking great. I've seen a few bands there, and the sound wasn't as bad as people make it to be. I don't think I could ever miss a gig because of a venue, well there were the Belle and Sebastian, Mogwai, and etc gigs, but going to the fireside or the congress theatre alone is just asking for trouble.

My wife and I are driving down to Chicago from Winnipeg...about the closest NO will ever come to central Canada.  Thought after 20 years my time to see them live had come and gone...*sniff*...AND we're travelling without our three year old...

Oh wickedly happy days ahead!

Chicago.

First time since October 1981, Bradford University.

The girlfriend and I will be in Chicago, and at the afterparty thing.

is it too much to ask for a few more us gigs? i mean, cmon. cleveland maybe? i realize columbus would be too much to ask for... but my wife really doesn't want to go all the way to chicago.

Let's see the final tally....

(Just added) Me and Rob at Kimmel Live

Me and my buddies Jeff and Rob in Oakland

Me and Rob at Coachella

Me and the wife at NYC

A nice four-peat.....

Oakland and NYC for me! Nice having a brother in law to crash with in SF!!!!

Oakland for me

I'll be at Coachella with my boyfriend (only for Sunday, though, and we'll be staying in San Diego over the weekend), and NYC with whomever is there. I don't post much, so probably most of you have no idea who I am, but I hope I can meet some of you at the shindig in NYC. :)

And now I will pretend that I didn't quit my job two weeks earlier than originally planned just so I could go to the shows. :D

Since NYC is a sellout, have to crunch the numbers for Chicago again.

"All I need is a miracle"...

Oakland and Coachella.

Oakland and Coachella for me. Wish I could follow to Chicago and NY, but that is a little extreme for me.

Just the Oakland show for me. Last New Order show I went to was Shoreline in Mountain View, CA 1993.

My Girlfriend and I are going to Chicago.

I'll be at the NYC show.
