I'm still undecided about whether I'll do this gig or an English one, but Frankfurt actually makes a lot of sense. The flights are a bit cheaper, and I'd only have to use 1 or 2 vacation days. Most of the other dates I'm looking at would take close to all of the 4 days I've got left. Plus, having the tickets already is far less stressful than wondering if I'll get through Wednesday morning. (Though I was getting a bit excited about doing either Sheffield or Dublin.)

Good luck to you, too, arranging your travel after the Springsteen concert. (That'll be a brilliant one too. I've only seen him once, many years ago, but he's genius live.)
