I just hope the same applies to Europe.
I hope "US" secretly means "North America".
Yes, that's good news.http://www.twitter.com/dtofficial
"There will be both support and headline tours in the US for this album - don't worry! "
Oh, sweet relief
Indeed, poor DT, they deserve better bands. This really shows the state of the economy in the U.S., putting (almost totally) unrelated bands together and make a tour out of that.
Yes, that's good news.
Plintus, Baltimore is a strange place, I agree with you. That's not to say there wasn't some "user error" involved in your debacle, but you do have to be on your toes. There aren't clear bad sections of town. It's one block good, one block bad, one block good, one block bad. And all the fucking one-way streets. Gah, I'm getting stressed just thinking about it.
DC is the same shit in some places, especially around the Capitol Hill area. You could be driving on the same street as everyone else, miss your turn, and then take the next and find yourself in the worst ghetto you've ever seen... for just one block.
In general that DC-Baltimore area is the strangest part of the United States, at least to me. It's like so many different towns and urban areas of every conceivable type squashed onto the Beltway and 95. Baltimore just happens to be the least nicest slice of it.
Philly is not like that, at least not in the Center City area; North Philly is Vietnam (shit starts radically from north of City Hall, and one shouldn't wander north of that at any time of the night). West Philly after 60th street is shady and dangerous, South Philly is some places, but CC is quite nice and safe.
Totally derailing the thread, but...you're right on this one too. I work at the Capitol, and I only know one safe route in and out of that neighborhood, so I'd be screwed if it were ever shut down.DC is the same shit in some places, especially around the Capitol Hill area.

Most of Takoma Park is actually really nice. The only part that isn't is the part that abuts Prince George's County (ghetto), which is where I grew up.There's a place in the beltway west of College Park called Takoma Park, and if you ask most people they're like DON'T EVER GO THERE. It's like the worst ghetto you'll ever see. Except... inside Takoma Park there's an area that literally looks like Providence or Boston. It's crazy.

I keep waiting for rahvin to join this conversation.
I don't reccomend Southwest Philly either. Yuck.
That being said, Plintus, AC show? Found a cheap way of getting there, with gambling money to spare.
I've been to South West Philly ghetto for a party (where Yau fell on his face and his Nikon and puked all over himself, and I left him outside like that in the night for an hour or so), and it all went quite well.
Maybe heard some gunshots, dunno, was fun though.
I'm going to AC, Mini OR train, depends on the weather and my schedule. Might get a room at the hotel to stay over
^kudos, might as well!
I might hitch a ride, busses will be around the same as a car for a day (with all expenses), so I'll see when the time comes.
Two days in NYC FTW! No LA for me on this tour as of now, buuuuut too early to say anyway
