Reading the announcement, I literally did an emotional 360 and went from OMG EVANESCENCE ARE OPENING ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!?! *LOVE*LOVE*LOVE* to WAIT WHERE THE HELL IS ATLANTA I'M HAVING A PANIC ATTACK I'M CRYING BUT MATT PROMISED DULUTH WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE'S NO ATLANTA DATE HEEEELP I CAN'T FUNCTION I HAVE TO SEE THIS TOUR THEY ALREADY SKIPPED THE SOUTH ON THE DRONES TOUR NOOOOOO NOT AGAIN FUCK FUCK FUUUUUUUCK
Then when I calmed down a bit... Well, there is a gap in dates between Philly and Phoenix at the end of March and the route would naturally take them through Atlanta (airport anyway) so MAYBE WE'LL GET MORE DATES ANNOUNCED LATER?!?
But that doesn't help me now, because even if we do get an Atlanta date later, Evanescence might not be supporting then, and the fact they're touring together is completely freaking out my 20-year old self who has always dreamed of an Amy/Matt collaboration (likely still won't happen but just them doing the same tour is a dream come true), so I HAVE TO SEE THEM TOGETHER OMG.
So either I wait and hope for an Atlanta announcement (and that it will include Evanescence)... or pick a date and travel to see them. Either way, I have to decide before next Tuesday. And this couldn't come at a worse time because I am two weeks away from my theatre tour trip in Toronto/NYC and I *should* be focusing on planning for that, not trying to figure out another trip because THE ENTIRE SOUTH HAS BEEN NEGLECTED ON THIS TOUR ONCE AGAIN.
*screams* I AM SO STRESSED
