Exciting weekend

Hometown shows are always special. Our friends and family and oldest fans are all in the audience and therefore we're motivated to try just a little bit harder. Irvine Meadows Amphitheater (Verizon now) is a place where I have quite a history. I grew up in Irvine (this is in Orange County a few miles south of Anaheim) and when I was 16 years old I got a job there working in the concession stands. I worked there every summer for about 4 or 5 years, it was great because I loved music and I got in to all the shows free (after I got off work). It's a big memory for me and it's literally a dream come true to play there. So this weekend is going to be a big deal for me, and also of course for the rest of the band. See you there! Tom

Can't wait Tom! You guys are gonna rock. :)
Me and the Mrs say hi! :) We'll be there on Saturday and Sunday! Break a leg!
Oh, the Mrs also says she wants Tragic Kingdom, because so far we've missed it every show we've been at. ;) And backstage passes, but we all know that ain't gonna happen. =p

Traveling a total of a 1000 miles to get some of this "hometown magic" but compared to a US tour with 5 kids under 7...my trip with two kids two and under doesnt seem as noble. ;)

Tom! Yes the hometown shows will be wonderful...couldn't make it out this year but definitely next tour I plan on being there to experience the "hometown shows." I hear they are like no other and this venue you are playing that you used to work at sounds like a really good one at that. I keep hearing good things about it! I just want to extend my thanks for coming out on tour this year, reconnecting with your fans, setting up tour club for us etc. Your families and close friends have been nothing but wonderful to us fans as well...No Doubt constantly amazes me and us fans are so lucky to be in love with a band that loves us back just as much! We can't wait for the new record!! We know it will be awesome and hopefully you are all inspired now from this past tour. It was wonderful, amazing, memorable, unforgettable!
We love you all so much! Thank you for everything!!!!
Sending all my love from Canada!
