Giddy as a schoolgirl

I'm giddy as a schoolgirl right now. Last night, I was browsing around the Porcupine Tree website reading up on all the band's albums and recent remastered CD releases and what not and ran across some information about where and when the band is currently touring. They're playing a special show in Los Angeles on 11 Oct in conjuction with the release of their new live DVD Arriving Somewhere.... then they're playing in San Francisco on 13 Oct.
So, I got thinking it would be cool if I could go. It's been forever since I've been to a concert by a band I liked this much -- Probably not since I saw Rush in the early 90s.
I talked to Thom about it today and he said he'd be interested in going. We brought it up with other members of the band and Matt chimed in and said he'd be interested too.
So, I got Christine's approval and tonight I booked the flight and got a ticket to the show. Thom and Matt are coming too. I'm really excited. It's still two weeks away and I'm anxious to pack my backpack for it.
Needless to say, I think I'm about to start yet-another binge of Porcupine Tree consumption.
