Mkay!
So, I pretty muched screamed all morning when I saw my city on the list FINALLY! So much so that my throat hurt that day. Embarassed Very Happy

Is anyone else going?

Here's the problem though.... My mom thinks they are playing musicfest.
x.x
That would suck so bad.
I was hoping for the New Daisy since they're playing smaller venues.
Grrr.

Anyone else have thoughts?

I'm sooo going. It's about a 2-3 hour drive for me, but we drove to Nashville to see them last year. Well worth it. I wonder when the ticket's will go on sale.....

I live 45 minutes away from Memphis, in Arkansas. Am I going? Yes.
I screamed too, and it's way better than the long bus ride I had to take to go to the Nashville show.
I can't wait until May!

Every May, Memphis has a musicfest.
It's part of Memphis in May.
A ton of bands come and they play for 3 days.
Last year Taking Back Sunday, Jack's Mannequin, and Papa Roach came.
May 2nd is the weekend of **musicfest, so my mom thinks they're playing that instead of a regular show.

I would really hate that because musidfest is crazy. There's drunk people everywhere and it's sooooo crowded.

>.<

I don't think it's musicfest.
I believe it's a regular show, because they have supporting acts.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too about the support acts... but... idk. There could be ways around that.
I hope not so bad.
If you've never seen the New Daisy... It is a pretty small venue. I would be super super psyched to see them there, especially front row. 0.0 Holy crap. The band would be like THIS CLOSE! *holds hands like half a foot apart.

And all the other venues in Memphis are like... big like arena shows and they said they're staying away from that.

Idk. They just need to go ahead and tell us the venue already so I can stop obsessing!

When I saw Memphis, I immediately thought they would be playing musicfest too. I live in Tennessee, but Memphis is still an 8 hour drive for me.... Crazy!

Anyway, musicfest IS that weekend -- it starts on Friday, May 2nd... UGH -- I hope that doesn't mean that when and if they play Atlanta, it's that damn music midtown festival. The ATL is way closer for me!

i'll most likely go even if they are playing musicfest.. unless it's really that bad. :S

if they have an atlanta date that works out better i may go to that one instead.
or if they decided to come to kentucky! which totally won't happen, but that's aight.

My friend says Gerard's banned from KY.
But... musicfest isnt that bad. It's still worth going. Just not as good as an indoor show.

I forgot what she said but it had something to do with Gerard and drugs.
x.x
They played a small show and I forgot what she said he did but it must have been pretty bad because MCR got banned from that venue.

at musicfest, can the crowd or whatever still be really close to the band?
i don't want it to be one of those situations where even the closest people in the crowd are like 20 feet from the stage >.<
