Is anyone going to the Pet Sounds brief tour this fall?

Brian Wilson and Al Jardine are touring this fall which sounds pretty amazing.

Damn, I didn't know Brian Wilson was touring and playing Pet Sounds for the 40th Anniversary.  I would love to go and see that album played by the man who wrote it, but there is no way in hell I will be able to. FUCK, what a letdown.  I do enjoy the Beach Boys but I'm definitely a bigger Brain Wilson fan than a BB fan.  He's the genius behind the band and I have the utmost respect for him. He's also one of the greatest song writers of all time and I think that most people would have to agree, just based the songs and melodies he has written (whether you like the Beach Boys or not).  I did buy the 40th anniv. edition of Pet Sounds, which is like my 5th copy of this album now.  It was $15.00 at Best Buy on the release day, which was like $12.00 off the regular price, so I had to grab it.  I have tons and tons of Pet Sounds and Smile bootlegs, probably 20 CD's worth that just cover those 2 albums.  I honestly don't listen to the Beach Boys or Brian Wilson very often, but he's still one of my favorite songwriters and I have a ton of music by him.  The 'Cocaine Hamburger Sessions' being some of my favorites.

Same here.  Have the Pet Sounds box set, the bootleg Smile sessions, etc.  I told myself no more expensive shows until '07, but Brian and my fave album one last time - I must go.  Sorry, wallet...

and you guys get to see Al Jardine which will be amazing semi Beach Boy reunion, hopefully they play Add Some Music To Your Day and do a DVD which would be amazing!

As much as I love and appreciate Pet Sounds, I don't see myself attempting to get to one of these shows...
