    LInkin Park has to be the worst band that Clear Channel can force feed its listeners.



    The first time I heard them I though they should be renamed them "The Screaming B*tches"



    Apple can do better.

    It would have to be tomorrow or Thursday then because they move on to Montreal on Friday. http://www.coasttocoasttickets.com/b...htm?pid=738462

    Or it's not going to be any time soon. There have been no invites mentioned anywhere. Are they going to do some live concert event outside and just hope a bunch of people show up?

    I wish so badly that could be it. Apple would surely surprise us all with a weekend event and not a typical Tuesday. Again, no invites yet. My powerbook needs to be retired.

    what's this thing for dates, can't they do two things in one day, aren't theiri concerts in the evening those cities are close enough to fly to to in less than a couple of hours, heck they could do 4 events in a day depending on where and the amount of time

    You have a point. If they keep they transition the 9am usual start time from the west coast to east coast, then that shouldn't be a problem for Linkin Park. Still no invites though if it's going to be any time soon.

    They don't fly in... they take a tour bus. They have a ton of stage and sound equipment that follows them. Plus... they need time to setup and do sound checks prior to the event.

    They wouldn't use their entire rig for an Apple event. And if they're using Miramobile for the event as rumored, much of the stuff will already be there for them.

    I love the "shhh...it's a secret" line. Apple ought to cancel on them for blabbing!



    ...and knowing how our Dear Leader feels about having his surprises spoiled, that might be exactly what's going to happen...

    I'm not sure what your point is. Most americans use the phrase "wait in line" (gotta watch out for google "research", especially when searching for the other version finds 12 times as many results). Although supposedly new yorkers (along with brits) use the phrase "wait in line".

    I think at times, Apple directs third parties to "leak" little tidbits like this. It seems to be part of how they manipulate their marketing efforts.
