bros with quicksilver shirts plaid shorts and skate shoes even though they don't skate are excited.

Can't wait to see them. Been a while,)

Saosins new album sucks, all that wait for nothing.

What really catches my attention about this tour is P.O.S. How do the other compare?

This is an amazing tour

Haven't decided if I'm going to see them yet, depends on if they are playing more old then new stuff. Still not super into the new songs

If these were cheap enough, I'd go for POS and then leave.

Not worth it. POS is the only person with talent on this tour and he'll probably only get a 20 min. opening slot.

You're wrong
this is the order of the bands playing:
Saosin
P.O.S.
Innerpartysystem
Eye Alaska

so... P.O.S. will get at least a 40 minute set I guess

What? $1000 to go on a shopping spree with Saosin? I'd rather not. This tour is legit, Eye Alaska needs to get more attention.

innerpartysystem is really good and hopefully saosin will play more of there old album
