I would also add, to save precious minutes, pre-register an account with Ticketmaster and have that ready to multi-task.

I have received a new schedule for the announcement. Here we go:

AEG has informed us that the last concerts of this tour will be announced at 7 am PDT on September 7,
and we will have our presale starting later on the same day, September 7 (10 am local time of the venues)
The concert dates are in the beginning of December. More details to follow!
Be sure to check the announcement at 7 am PDT on September 7!

Anyone care to guess where these concerts will take place..........

According to Jarkko's signature (H and L) and the advise to use US Ticketmaster, I would say Hawaii and Las Vegas

Thanks for your help Arlene!

Remember this is the World Tour 2010 section...

remote -
thank you; "I've always been greedy that way"...
plus
I've been reflecting on how wonderful this website is - to hear reactions and experiences of every concert, plus to be able to view specific songs from each concert - it is (almost) like actually being at each concert throughout the whole Tour. Wondrous.

The perfect word for all this!

He most certainly should get the Kennedy Center Honors. He's way overdue, and since they already gave it to Dylan, they still need to honor our other poets, meaning Joni and Leonard.

If history is any guide, the Kennedy Center Honorees are usually announced the day or two after Labor Day, meaning next Tuesday or Wednesday. They (the Kennedy Center) are not doing their job if they *don't* pick Leonard this year. (BTW, The Kennedy Center Honors plays a bit to the ratings with their picks, which is why they might go with someone more well known or popular this year in the music category, e.g. Neil Diamond or James Taylor.)

The event is taped the first Sunday in December (for the later broadcast), which this year would be the 5th. The honorees also meet the night before for a dinner at the State Department hosted by the Secretary of State. That sounds like a big conflict with what we're assuming is a Hawaii concert on the 4th, on the way back from Cambodia. LC might have to rearrange his schedule. I'm hoping he might be fine with that. Well, here's hoping there are TWO big announcements next week.

P.S. The other final concert, on Dec. 8th, I'm going to guess Portland, OR.

7 AM PDT (Pacific Daylight Time) means 3 PM GMP (Greenwich Mean Time).
Am I right ?

PDT = UTC - 7
PST = UTC - 8
UTC ~= GMT

As I posted on my Facebook page, I just KNEW there had to be a reason why Discover card sent me a notice last week that they increased my limit because I'm such a great customer - just read on the forum that the last concerts in Dec will be on an island and a desert oasis according to jarkko. Unless the island is Manhattan which I am guessing it is no...t I will have to break the bank and go to the desert. Oh, Leonard. You are persuasive. So I'll be here with the rest of the crowd, 4am and ready to push the Ticketmaster buy button promptly at 7 am.
