What is the Longest Distance You Have Ever Traveled to See a Band?

            It seems like whenever I book a vacation, I immediately start to look into what shows I can see during that time. (It's sort of like I wouldn't know what to do with my evenings if I wasn't out seeing a band). I've seen some great stuff that way, including The Delgados in San Francisco, Sonic Boom in Austin, and Metric in Seattle.  Still, what I'm talking about here is a band or show you traveled specifically to see. 

There are so many festivals in particular I'd like to go to oversees but have not made it yet...would have loved to have photographed Blur but alas no.  

Not too shabby, though, I flew in to Coachella in Indio, California 2009 in order to photograph Leonard Cohen.  

Runners Up: I've flown to NYC twice in the last year.  The first time was to see/photograph Serena Maneesh before they had a Chicago date listed.  The last time was to experience the grand orchestra for Spiritualized performing Ladies and Gentleman We Are Floating in Space.  That weekend, I also saw Sonic Youth, St. Vincent, and The Big Takeover Anniversary Showcase. 

One more...when I was in college, I drove from Buffalo to Toronto to see a few shows but most notably Looper, Radiohead, and The Cure.  The Cure specifically was for their LAST TOUR EVER with Bloodflowers.  That was in 1999 or 2000.  I just photographed them headlining Coachella last year. ;)

Ok-your turn!

I really intended the map to be the focus of this one but then Dr. Pirate sort of stole the whole show
