I was going to see them at Stubb's. :022:

[Refugee]

Oh man, that sucks! Sorry for you LizzieB and all others who were going to see them.

[Magnolia]

OMG!! Lizzie I'm so sorry!! Athena was going to that show too, wasn't she? I wonder what the reason is
and if San Diego will still go on? Our show is a week from today.
I'll be SOOOO disappointed if it's cancelled. :icon_neutral:

[acomplexkid]

I will be heartbroken if our SD show is canceled!

[Magnolia]

Fuck, fuck, FUCK! I'm sorry, but there isn't another word for it.
I just read at the WS Officials that the rest of the tour is
cancelled. I can't believe it. I'm devastated.

[agirl]

^^ Barb and Gina, I'm sorry, that sucks.

[Relic]

:022:

[Echosoftom]

Oh man, I'm sorry you guys. I know you were all really looking forward to this. I wonder what's happened? It can't be good for them to have cancelled the rest of the tour.

[surfnburn]

Oh Barb...I'm so sorry. I know you and Gina were really looking forward to this. How disappointing. I don't think I've ever seen you post so many four letter words...

Gosh...I hope everyone is okay...

[Magnolia]

They say that Meg is ill and I'm so sorry for that of course.
But I can't help feeling soooo totally bummed. I just want to cry.
I was FINALLY going to see my beloved White Stripes live. I've been
looking forward to it for so long.
Relic, Athena, Lizzie and of course Gina - I'm so sorry for you guys, too.:022:

WOW! I am SO sorry LizzieB, Barb, Gina, Athena and Relic. I had no idea so many of our Farmers would be affected.

I hope Meg gets back on the road to recovery soon. I do sympathize with her though, anxiety attacks are no fun and not to be taken lightly. They can be so devastating.

:085:

[acomplexkid]

poor Meg. I've seen the Stripes live before and she seems so painfully shy you wonder how she can get out there and play. I hope she'll be okay.

I can't help but feeling poor us, though! I was so looking forward to this show, especially to seeing Jack & Meg with Barb! I'm sorry for LizzieB, Athena and Relic -- I hope we all get the chance to see the Stripes again soon!

[WildflowerNJ]

Oh no, I am so sorry LizzieB, Barb, Gina and Athena and Relic.....everyone else who had wanted to go to these shows....I hope Meg will be okay...I know about that acute anxiety....sending good thoughts out to Meg....

[Marion]

Oh, I'm so sorry you guys! I know how much you guys were looking forward to it. What a bummer. :085:

Best wishes to Meg.

[KansasPettyFan]

I am so sorry for all of you. :085: I hope she gets better.

[wild1forever]

Oh geez, I'm so sorry for those of you who planned to see them. What a disappointment.

[Athena]

I am still trying to get over it, but at least it's good to know I have friends who understand, and friends who are going through the same thing. People at work think I'm a lunatic.

[LizzieB]

Thanks, everyone. Yeah, I'm so bummed. Stubb's holds like a couple thousand people, so we were expecting an up close and personal experience. This is just so sad.

Barb and Gina - I'm so sorry your dates were cancelled too!! It's just devistating, isn't it? Hopefully we'll all get to see them in the future.

I hope Meg recovers soon. I feel so sorry for her. She seems so painfully shy. I can't imagine how her personality and being in one of the most popular rock bands today goes together.

On the bright side, I'll still get to see some great music at the festival and spend time with my wonderful TPATH friends.

That's the best part right there! :)

[Athena]

Yes it is :054:

And for a possible silver lining...maybe next time they come into LA, they will pick someplace better than the Forum. That is the worst place for a concert. That is one of the reasons I was going all the way to Austin!

[LizzieB]

Yes, it is the best part!!!

Now let's hope that pesky Hurricane Humberto doesn't get in my way....

Edit: Make that Tropical Storm Humberto.

[Magnolia]

I still can't even think about this. It's on my calendar in huge print, just
staring at me. I just want to cry still.
I'm so worried that that may have been my only chance to ever see them live.:(
