Since it looks like I'm going to try to do both Cock Sparrer shows, I might as well plan a longer vacation around it. I'd probably try to spend a few days in each city.

Here's what I know of so far:

5/18 - Cock Sparrer in Philly
5/18 - Dirty Water reunion in Boston
5/19 - Cock Sparrer in Boston
5/19 - BnB Superbowl of Hardcore in NYC
5/19 - (Rumored) The Adicts in Philly
5/20 - Rancid w/ Razors in the Night in Boston
5/21 - (Rumored) Rancid w/ Ducky Boys and Madball in Boston

Anything else going on around those days? I'll probably annoy you guys with advice on places to stay once I get a better idea what I'm doing.

Hahaha... it's already TOO MANY choices. But I'm leaning towards flying into Philly for a few days, then up to Boston for the Cock Sparrer and Rancid shows - and maybe a few extra days - and then to NYC to visit some friends. One person already is trying to convince to go to Vegas for Punk Rock Bowling the next weekend.

Just trying to pack as much awesomeness as possible into one trip!

Is the second Rancid show happening, this is the first I have heard of it. Might have to go to the second show instead.

There was a comment on one of the Facebook pages for the Cock Sparrer show about a second Rancid show with Ducky Boys and Madball opening.

After I saw that, Mark put this in his last Ducky Boys update email:

This event kicks off a spectacular weekend of punk rock in Boston. If you've ever thought about visiting Boston and seeing the sights then this is the weekend to do it! Look at this:

5/18 - Dirty Water reunion show at TT the Bears
5/19 - Cocksparrer at Club Lido
5/20 - Rancid at the HOB with Razors in the Night and Tenebrae
5/21 - Rancid at the HOB night #2 with details coming soon

But, as far as I know, nothing official has been announced.

It's possible that the second Rancid show may not happen. From what I understand tickets have sold well on the first night. Exceptionally well. Their agent asked us to play the second night. It has yet to be announced. I would guess that if it's to happen then it's going to be announced this week or next.
