First 2007 North American Tour Dates Announced!

Well, Puffy made good on what we had all suspected. North American tour dates this November. This time, it's you guys on the west coast getting the love and us back east getting the shaft. Well, only for now, hopefully... although I do seem to recall that the west didn't get a visit at all last time around. Maybe it's time for us to repay the favor.

UPDATE: Puffy's staff blog and MySpace page now refer to these dates specifically as "West Coast" tour dates, which wouldn't be necessary if this was the extent of the US tour. I'm sure that there are more dates still to come...

Anyway, here are the announced dates (edited now with pricing info from Puffy's site):

I'm really not sure why they need to play Los Angeles and Anaheim, but what the hey. Kinda like playing New York City and Yonkers.

Astute readers will note that this is only one week. They had six of them free in between Japan dates. So I'm hopeful they've still got some east coast - and maybe even some middle America - dates in the works. We'll see.

This also raises the prospects of a US honeycreeper release pretty dramatically, I think. So good news all around, even with only the west representin' right now.
