I went from New York to Michigan to see Stevie in October. I was actually driving to Arizona and did it as a side trip, but I think I might have gone even if I didnt have business in AZ.

I also will be going from NY to Pittsburgh. I have traveled all over the country doing dog agility, so long drives dont faze me.

I travelled from Islandmagee (20 miles from Belfast) to Los Angeles to see Lindsey on three dates of his Gift of Screws tour in LA and San Diego. I don't know what that is... Something like 1,500 miles? 2,000? I don't know.

It's about 130 miles from my house to Dublin Airport (and that's just the very start of the trip) and then a trans-Atlantic flight to LA and then all the travelling from LA to San Diego

I guess other people have travelled more when you consider they've gone to 10 shows or whatever but I think I've pretty good average distance travelled per show

Well, I've done quite a bit over the last 10 or so years since Ive been able to travel. I dont know Ive probably traveled at least 30,000 miles over all that time to see them and the members on their own.

Well in 1989 I left Herts drove to London, flew to New Orleans (I think), drove to Biloxi to see Stevie - concert was cancelled that day so we drove to Dallas and got tickets there and then on Huston to see Stevie there. I couldn't persuade my partner to then go on to Colerado!!!

I also went to see the Mac in NY and NJ in 2003 again from Herts/London. And got the train to Manchester from London to see the Mac in 1990 for Behind the Mask. Loved every minute of everyone of these experiences.
