I really wish The Used would come to Michigan.. or any of the states surrounding Michigan sometime this year. It makes me sad being a MEGA OOBER fan and not being able to meet them and mosh to their hardcore music *sniff* *crying dramatically*

Join the club, man.
The Used hasn't played a show in Pittsburgh since... 2004 I think it was?

Your best bet is travelling out of town to see them.
That's what I did. (:

november of 2004 they were in pittsburgh. thats the farthest ive traveled to their shows. it was 9 hours or so from new jersey, when i was living in new jersey

THAT far? Damn. What part of Jersey did you live in?

Wrightstown. It was near trenton I believe. It was the most expensive toll i ever paid!!! we were on this one stretch of highway for like 6 hours.
After that we drove to 6 or so other states for a few more shows. Lots and lots of driving. That's when gas first started getting really shitty

Damn, my mom went on a business trip out in NJ not that long ago. She mentioned something about the tolls being insane...? I don't know, something like that.

But hey, driving 6 hours is well worth it if you get to see The Used.
I'd probably do the same thing if I could drive ;D

i actually remember it being 9 hours from NJ to Pittsburgh, not 6!!
i think we were on one stretch of highway for 6 hours though, then there were other roads and highways. I wasn't driving, i fell asleep, but we left late at night, and didn't get there til the next morning.

The one highway that we were on for 6 or so hours though, was the most expensive toll ever. I want to say it was between 20 and 30 dollars because we were on it for so long.

After pittsburgh (not in this order) we also drove to philli, NJ, Massachusetts, maryland, and new york for the last day of the tour. (I think I'm missing one). It was a lot of driving, but a lot of fun. Super road trip!!

DAMN. That's quite a ways.

I personally think that tolls are ridiculous. I don't see the point in paying to drive across a stretch of highway /:

But geez, I'd love to do the same thing. Hopefully once I get my license, The Used will go one some MEGA US TOUR (or something LOL) and I'll be able to go on a super road trip following them. The only problem would be gas, since it'll probably be up to $5 by the end of the year.

-.-

TAKE ME WITH YOU!!! That would be so intense! haha... Even though you really don't know me from anywhere else besides theused.net and myspace! lol.

But im awesome... there would be no awkward times! haha

SURE! I honestly have no problem taking a car full of people with me lmao.

The way I look at it: the more people going, the less I have to pay for gas myself (;

yeah it was a lot of fun.
it was just when gas prices started going up too! I had just quit my job. We went to 7 shows, and drove all over the place. I think It was during the first taste of chaos?? november of 04

But it was something I needed to do, considering what was going on in my life at that point. i needed to get away and do something fun. We had to sleep in my car a few nights though, and it snowed.

That's how I feel too. I feel like I need to just get away, and do something that I love for a while. And I think following The Used and seeing them a bunch of times would make me incredibly happy... and get my mind off of a lot of shit (:

Well than count me in!! ... im not Kidding btw :P Just let me know wen u go and ill be some random place looking for you and then ill jump onto your moving van type thing and you can PICK ME UP!!

LOL alright, wow this is odd. Making plans to go see The Used with people you've never met before over The Used's message board.

BUT, if you're really serious about going-- we can meet at one of their shows or something, and then you can put your stuff in our car and then we'd go to their next showw(s) and whatnot. You must help pay for gas though lmao

count my ass in! seriously! just let me know when your going and ill plan to go to a show and you guys can kidnap me :P I can fit in small spaces too.... the glove compartment mite b a bit too small but HEY you never know!

can you imagine if bert would ask who i was if we got to meet him.. i'd b like "oh im allison... yeah they kidnapped me at your last show" hahahaha AWESOME!

so are we talking a couple years or like current?

and OF COURSE id help pay for gas! haha

Well, I'm getting my permit this November. & I'll have my full blown license by May 2009. So, hopefully by time The Used goes on another US tour-- I'll have my license, and/or my friend will, so we'll be able to go to quite a few of their shows.

My friend could get her license right now if she wanted to, she's 17, but she has yet to do so /: I just might get mine before her.


But yeah, I guess you'd consider that pretty soon.
Whenever The Used goes on tour hahah.

DONT FORGET ME!! lol :P

god i hope they go on tour soon!

Well, not TOO TOO soon.
I want to get my license first ;D lmao.
