Waits has had a career spanning over 30 years and he's performed only 12 tours. Somehow I missed a chance to see him in Minneapolis when I was in University. Some friends drove down for the show but I was too cool to notice. Waits is on my very short list of live shows to see before I die.
According to Waits:
We’re going to the deep south where they still love a man who wears red pants and they make him feel welcome.The video of the press conference posted online is hilarious. In it, he explains the astrological significance of the tour and provides an acronym to help people remember: PEHDCJMBA.
Ticketmaster is also using the opportunity to try out a new paperless ticket system. His label explains:
In keeping with Waits’ longtime desire to allow fans the best possible access to his shows, the Waits’ organization is again implementing an anti-scalping program to assure patrons that their tickets can only be purchased at face value.Oh yeah, and most if not all of the shows are sold out. My friend lives in Phoenix but missed getting tickets to the two shows in that city. Instead, he's driving to El Paso, Texas. Do flights from Winnipeg to el Paso seem excessive?

I missed Tom Waits in Austin at sxsw in 1999 when he played a small theatre show. I was too tired to get up early and stand in line for tickets day of. I live life otherwise regret-free.
go Sean, fly to el paso.
