You missed the point. My comment was mostly in jest...but I do know that for most of tne WT tour, it did feel like I spent a lot of time in other cities going to shows. There really were not a ton of local shows.

As for Irvine, it took me 6 hours to get there...and two of those hours were spent on the off ramp. Stupid Orange County.
I missed "now Im nothing" and it sure as hell shouldnt have taken that long to get there. Traffic here sucks beyond your wildest dreams.

You are right, LA is now getting the love. But LA is really spread out. And there are a lot of us here.
At least the weather is nice, most of the time.
