"There will be a time when people will be shocked

that we ever allowed the suffering of these animals

in the name of entertainment to continue so long.

Elephants living in chains and being beaten;

lions and tigers in small cages on trucks,

being whipped to perform tricks; it's the dark ages.

This bill helps bring us out of the dark ages."

The only way I'd pay a membership fee again is if I cared about tickets, which I don't. I made the conscious decision last year when I went to the Tampa show. I got a pretty good ticket, and didn't go the presale way. It was in the side section, next to the stage, about 3 rows up, so I was level with the stage. I also won't do more than 1 show, unless it is a show that friends are going to and we are making a mini vacation out of it or something. If it's a small show (Vic type show, Mudcrutch, etc...), I'll be there. But for a Greatest Hits show in an arena/shed, nah, one show is enough and certainly not worth hundreds of dollars.

Since I haven't been to as many shows as most of you guys, I will continue to pay. It is still a thrill for me to see the greatest hits up close. Of course, I do have to save money for knobs shows now too.......

I've only been to a dozen TPATH concerts, and I still love going. My counselor says that if I could go to one every month, I would be cured of depression, and I'd be one of the happiest people alive! Of course I'd much rather see small, intimate shows, but I haven't been able to fly to CA to go to one. Maybe in the future. I'll keep hoping!

no telling what I'll do if/when shows are announced, but my reaction to the latest Calif. shows was eh?!...

Kind of feels like it's time to hand it all over the the newer and still motivated fans who haven't had the chance to do what we all have.

But you never know. As far as the $45? Can't imagine not being a HCC member would actually impact my ability to get good tickets if it ever comes up again.
