Anyone going tonight! I am. I"ve never been to the TLA but i heard it's a super small venue (like 500 people). Maybe that's why philly was one of the hardest shows to get tickets to. Any info on the TLA would be greatly appriciated cause i have no idea where to park and stuffs.

I just saw a set list from the boston show. It looks good cept they didnt play any old stuff really. We'll see.

okay i just got back, wow. I'm not sure of the set list, i was having to much fun to remember all of it... but i'm pretty sure they didnt play anything older then Enema of the state (with the exception of DAMMIT).

They played about 5 songs off the new album. They also joked and talked more then i've ever seen them before (seen em five times now).

The venue (The TLA) was amazingly small. I was shocked at how small it was.

If anyone has any pics of the show could you post them or possibly email them?

I told everyone i saw with a camera to send them AP.net so we could all enjoy but you never know.

I was there (against the barrier in front of Mark) and it was amazing! Their sense of humor is still in tact - Apparently, Mark enjoys good hard rub downs from men with strong hands...heh. The new songs were AWESOME live. I loved the fact that they opened up with 7 dirty words and there was a mass of parents sitting up at the bar and standing in the back. Drumsticks were thrown out into the crowd freely after the show.

They had a Red Cross can at their merch table to raise money for the fires in California. I was dissapointed that the only older song they played was Dammit. There was no encore, which kinda sucked too.

Don't forget Bubba either! His set was enjoyable. His DJ was great too. Warning to the guys - Bubba likes to take off his shirt. Its not pretty.

I saw tickets for the Philly show for up to $300 on ebay. Two guys we came with didn't have tickets. They were standing by the door and a guy asked them if they were going in. They said they didn't have tickets. The guy pulled two out of his coat pocket and gave them to them. They offered to pay, but he refused. haha!

yeah i paid 250 for my two tickets. Wow that's awesome about your friends gettting in for free.

thing i noticed was, when i walked in and gave the guy my ticket, he didnt even look at it, and let me through. Anyone could of really just walked right in it seemed.

i was right behind you then, i always stand in front of mark, i was like the second row or third back from the barrier.

i had a strong bad shirt on.
