Don't ask me why there isn't... However:

Quote:
Here are Linkin Park's tour dates:

Feb. 12: Omaha, Neb. (Qwest Center)
Feb. 13: St. Paul, Minn. (Xcel Energy Center)
Feb. 15: Columbus, Ohio (Nationwide Arena)
Feb. 16: Detroit (Joe Louis Arena)
Feb. 18: Manchester, N.H. (Verizon Wireless Arena)
Feb. 19: Baltimore (1st Mariner Arena)
Feb. 21: New York (Madison Square Garden)
Feb. 22: Montreal (Bell Centre)
Feb. 23: London, Ontario (LaBatt Centre)

Feb. 25: Lexington, Ky. (Rupp Arena)
Feb. 26: Nashville (Sommet Center)
Feb. 29: Oklahoma City (Ford Center)
March 1: Albuquerque, N.M. (Tingley Coliseum)
March 2: El Paso, Texas (Don Haskins Center)
March 8: West Valley, Utah (E Center)


Both those dates are in Canada. The first is in Quebec, and on a Friday... If I were able to get the day off, and if there's a LPU convoy there, I could go...

However, the London show. I've never been there, it's a 2hour+ trip. ********, I'm so going.

You know, this does seem like a mini tour though. I mean, only one opening band. Hell, this is the first time I think they've gone somewhere in Canada that isn't a major city. Usually it's Toronto, Montreal, or Vancouver.

I'm guessing there wasn't many bands/venues available at this time, so they're doing this so that they're doing something. Then once there's less schedule conflicts they'll come back to Toronto.

Haha, we're projecting a game plan here...

Get off work sometime after midnight on Thursday/Friday. That is if I go to the Montreal show... I'll be missing Friday work. Do something... Like sleep maybe until oh... 7am would be best to leave for downtown to get to train station:

Train from Toronto to Montreal:

Departs: 09:30 Arrives: 14:21 Duration: 4 hrs 51 mins

Check into a hotel. Do s**t until concert which will probably start at 7pm. Concert ends around 11pm most likely, go back to hotel and wait...

Train from Montreal to London [with a connection in Toronto at the station I started in]:

MONTRÉAL - TORONTO Departs: 06:55 Arrives: 11:23
CONNECTION
TORONTO - LONDON Departs: 12:00 Arrives: 14:04

If we can't make the connection, we can jump on the Bus and get there maybe half an hour later than on the train or something.

Anyways, here... No hotel. Hang around til concert. Do the concert thing then...

Then back to Toronto:

Greyhound it - 03:20am 05:50am 2h, 30m for 40$

Or... Take the train back. It is 34 something while bus is 37. Unless that 15$ service charge on train pushes it over or something.

The way back doesn't even have to be that early.

I projected this costing me 600$+, but one of the guys organizing this said 500$ max. XD

So let's see. I'll wake up Thursday at like... 1pm. Do s**t on the computer, go to work at 6pm, or whenever work starts at that time. Finish at midnight, considering Steve is still my sup at that time. If not, I'll probably get off earlier. Get home sometime before 1am.

Eh, I probably won't sleep between 1am and 7am... I'll probably... I don't know. Oh! I'll be pestering the convoy on the LPU, making sure they won't abandon me or anything. Oh, and maybe freaking out because I got into both M&Gs... Wow, that would be odd if I did. And it would make things more complicated. Hopefully they send out the confirmations earlier this time. I mean, they expect you to print it out, how would I do that while on a train?

Um... Then train and sleep or something.

Eat somewhere around here. Try to find a washroom. I wonder if anyone else in the convoy knows french. I mean, they don't speak french 24/7 in Montreal... But, I don't want to be a translator! gonk

Concert!

Uh... From like 11pm to 5am... Stuff.

Sleep on train on the way back. Eat on the way to London. Take a major leak.

Concert!

Oh, and to make it easier to follow along...

Gad damnit... I don't know if I can pull this off. I'm no good at travelling.

I'm so ******** hyper right now. LP concerts always put me into a state of hysteria.

I feel like I was choosen to run in the Amazing Race, and got my hands on the routes far in advance. And now I'm ploting the course and s**t.

Chances are... I won't even sleep during this. I'll probably wake up on Thursday at 1pm. Then get to bed maybe Sunday night. MAYBE!

Oh, while I'm MapQuesting.

This is downtown, near a subway station called Chester:

That start point is a school named Chester. While the end point is a school named Bennington.

Don't worry, I didn't find that by searching LP names and such. Actually, someone from the LPU lives there, and I was doing a search to try and help her get somewhere. Then I noticed all that stuff. There's so many roads and stuff there with the names Chester and Bennington, it's ******** creepy. burning_eyes

EDIT: Actually, I think there's a school around there named Charles too. Chester's middle name. I'm not gonna bother finding it though. rofl

No s**t!

I've learned that there is 4 other dates that haven't been announced yet. Best bet that they are during that week of March, including March 10th, which is the last date. Not too sure there will be a Toronto date... But fingers crossed.

And it's hysteria!

MUSTGOMUSTGOMUSTGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hehe, one of the people I will be hanging with, I met at Pro Rev. His username is ManBearPig [and he actually kinda looks like his name, he's pretty big and hairy]. So far, if I do go to Montreal, it'll be me and him on the train there, as the other we know of lives in Ottawa, which is much closer to Montreal. Only 2hr train. She said that it was me and him alone. Then I said, "Lies. I'm bringing Al Gore with me." domokun

You're just ********, I really don't know if I can stand going to Montreal. ******** snotty french people. You know there's something wrong when someone working at McDonald's think their too good for you.
