2008 and the Finger Eleven dates are in
Well some of the Finger Eleven tour dates have been officially announced. I actually received them plus a lot more that are not confirmed a couple weeks ago. Their management office sends everyone in the band and crew dates whenever they come from the agent.
The first six weeks of shows will be with Chevelle. It looks like large clubs and a few small theaters, mainly in the 1200-2000 range. The majority of them are in the United States but there looks like there will be some Canadian shows too.

Hockey and wildlife
The trip to Florida was fun but too short. The weather was perfect which is what you expect this time of year. It was nice to see family. I also went to see the Pittsburgh Penguins play in Tampa and they won of course. There were a lot of fellow Pens fans in the arena. I love going to games, especially when it is my team.
We also went around to some of the nature sites. I have been to Tampa dozens of times over the years but never really do the "tourist" stuff. I you live there you know about the manatees that hang around the power plant. There is actually a viewing area there. It seems this hydro plant pushes out very warm water that they love. When the Gulf of Mexico is cool they come into the bay. Pretty interesting and I got some nice photos. There are also a lot of schools of fish that hang around there too.
We also went to a couple parks and also went to wilderness refuge.
I would have stayed longer but my nephew went with me and he had to get back to school.
It appears that I will be going back out on tour in mid February. There have been no changes at this point. The guys appeared on Regis and Kelly this morning. They were on Leno last week, so it appears the marketing machine is gearing up again. Paralyzer is still going strong, especially in the US.

I'm out of here
The holidays are finally over and we are into another January. It has been pretty cold here in the Northeast. Of course that is not that unusual, it is winter. Wouldn't you know we are going to have a big warm up here.
I had decided last month to take a small vacation since the guys are taking most of the month off. I figured I would go see my mom in Florida. She lives down there during the winters now. Besides the Pittsburgh Penguins, who are my favorite team are playing the Lighting in Tampa on thursday.
My nephew is going to travel with me and will be attending his first NHL game. He is more of a baseball and basketball fan. I think he will become more of a hockey fan once he has been to a game.
Anyway I got a call from the bands management on Friday. It seems there is some sort of a concert for them in NYC on Jan 13. Where and when I have no idea, I should know more tomorrow. The guys will be on Regis and Kelly the next day. I am going to be flying back on Saturday from Tampa. So now I am trying to figure out what to do about this show and getting back to New York. I will actually be flying through there on that day, but with my nephew traveling with me I will probably return home and then fly back the next day. I could send him on home, he is 17. It's just a hassle rearranging flights.
I wasn't planning on doing any shows this month, but hey I will take the pay.
Oh yea GO PENS!!!!!!
