Let's not forget MOE...they also did some touring with them!  

Charles I feel ya, I said the same thing.  it's tough to encourage friends to see a short set of GPN, even though it would be worth the money, the fact of the matter is money isn't something that most people have in large supply.  you have to pick and choose these days.  I'd love to be going to see my first Widepsread Panic show but I simply don't have the cash right now!  so, I'll wait it out and catch them when I do.
