drive??  uhhh, davis, ca. .. about a 3 day drive.     that's a college town, so i'm sure that will sell out quickly.  
 
 davis is a mere 2 hour drive or so from san francisco, or 45 minutes from sacto.

Winnipeg.  I'd guess about 1500 miles.
 
 1500miles/60mph = 25 hours

I saw The Ramones/Social Distortion there about 13 years ago.

Thanks.....
 
 My geography wasnt good enough to remember how far all the Canadian cities were. I guess Montreal would be a fun 2 day drive, but there is no show there.

Boise, Idaho???  Uummmm, I suppose one can assume from that itinerary that they will be doing a more extensive tour after Coachella, but I haven't seen any mention of it.  Has there been any official word?

[Barcelona]

Apparently the first date in Europe might be May 28 in Barcelona with Mudhoney and other bands in the Primavera Sound Festival.
 
 This might leave them most of May to play in the East Coast in the US.
