As of currently, I have seen Al in concert 5 times: 7/19/03 (Mann Center, Philadelphia--my first Al concert ever!), 5/31/07 (Keswick Theater, Glenside, PA--the night I went to this concert in lieu of my senior prom and waited 2 hours by the bus to meet Al for the first time!), 6/25/10 (Keswick Theater, Glenside, PA--the night Nancy (albinodwarf27) so graciously gave me a front row ticket which allowed Al to put me on the spot during "Yoda"), 5/20/11 (Keswick Theater, Glenside, PA--the night I first met WeirdMary0427 and when Dave drove me home after the show), and 6/9/13 (Tower Theater, Upper Darby, PA--my friend Hilary's first Al concert). So excited for Concert #6 at the Mann Center on July 31st! WeirdMary0427 and I will be there together :)

I haven't seen him live yet, but I might be travelling to Belgium for one of his gigs!

I would imagine seeing Al in concert outside of the US would be just as fun (or even more fun) as seeing him in the states! One of these days I'd love to travel out of town to see him :)

I almost decided on going to the Vancouver show next month, but I settled on buying my last tickets this year for the show after Bermuda's birthday. I probably could've swung the tickets for the Houston show (8/18) in hindsight, but oh well. My 12th concert will be 8/19/15 in San Antonio, and my thirteenth (and probably last one this year) will be 8/21/15 in Grand Prairie! Gotta work on booking a hotel, or I'll be driving 5+ hours in the middle of the night back home in a couple of weeks.

One so far! I hope for more in the future. Apparently tly he hasn't swung by my area since 1999 or so... So here's for hoping!

How often does he tour? How do people rack up viewings past like... 5?

My first show was in 1999. So its taken me 16 years to rack up 100. I am also fortunate to live in an area where he piles up shows that are somewhat close by multiple nights in a row. Yes, it makes for a week of tired and the house starts to look like something out of The Walking Dead (but usually with fewer corpses) but that is how we like to spend our time!

I started going to the shows in late 2008. I saw the second or third to last show of the Straight Outta Lynwood tour, and I saw four shows in 2010 for Internet Leaks. I went to three concerts in a row in 2010, and the last one was in November. After that, I saw three Alpocalypse tour concerts in 2011 (almost all in a row), followed by two additional shows, and each one were in 2012 and 2013. So far, I'm going to see three shows for the Mandatory Tour. I went to one in May, and I'll be at two more in the next couple of weeks.

I think the only reason I ended up going to five Alpocalypse tour shows is because he toured for three years, on and off. The only reason I went to four 2010 shows was because Al suddenly got booked at Fun Fun Fun Fest in Austin, and it had been long enough since the other shows that it didn't seem like I was dropping several hundred dollars in one fell swoop for the shows. The only way I'll see more than three for Mandatory Fun is if something close or financially feasible pops up next year.
