QUIZ 2010: where is the last concert

[Inna]

Based on the previous posts of guessing twice and Jarkko's hint then that the city has already been guessed, I think it is Valencia. And it is indeed very far from Cambodia. Back to Europe, where a lot of the members can meet again. Makes sense, doesn't it?

Valencia and Denver are the two canellations that are 'owed' one

Not Rio! Also, I haven't said that my dream to participate in a beach party in pleasant and warm surroundings has something to do with the very last concert (and it probably will remain a dream - in winter time those warm beaches are pretty far from where I live).

Well, Jarkko the Cruel, let's analyze your latest post. In an earlier post, you certainly implied that a beach party was in the offing on the 2010 Tour. In this post, you made a point of emphasizing the very last concert, which does not preclude a beach party at a tour location prior to the very last concert. One possible take on this if you look at both posts is that the tour will stop in Honolulu on its way home - to Los Angeles.

I'm happy to see that you're still enjoying yourself.

There are lots of nice beaches around Singapore...

So, come and party on the beach ... and bring Leonard

Yep! This is a most interesting thread. All correct answers are included in these pages, but not in any single message. According to latest info, the last concerts will not be announced before mid-September (unless plans happen to change), so we have plenty of time to draw more conclusions... Some members along the way will not have to travel, but we hope that they will keep their promises, although we cannot give them a full moon (or any moon at all).

Taking Jarkko's comment literally, the new moon (no moon) falls on 5 December 2010. But methinks there is more to this rather broad hint.....

And my promises, for one, will most certainly be kept!

edited for musings which make no sense:

"And you want to travel with her and you want to travel blind"...
"I've been running through these promises to you, that I made and I could not keep"...
"No moon to keep her armour bright"...

help...

Plural!! more gaps to be filled in?

[Dano]

Promises to keep; reference to Robert Frost? and lunar eclipse late December-21? San Francisco (birth place) December or Vermont?

The following is from the website "Leonard On The Beach" (LOTB):

"Leonard On The Beach is a collaboration and web presence of a group of Leonard Cohen fans in Hawaii. We stage Leonard-based get togethers, or “meet-ups” as the kids like to say, on the islands of Hawaii.

These meet-ups (not yet big enough for “event” status) are usually outdoors on the beach at night, preferably during a full moon."

On page 3 of this thread scocoh made this promise:

If they stop here, everyone is invited for the biggest LOTB in the history of mankind!

My take on this: LC concert in Honolulu on 5 December 2010 on the way to the final concert location.

Where is the final concert location? I still think "h" stands for "home". Since Los Angeles can't be correct if I am right about a concert in Honolulu (all correct answers are not in one message, says Jarkko the Cruel), then "home" is California. Three other cities in California have been guessed in this thread as the final concert location: San Francisco, San Diego, and Santa Barbara. On the very arbitrary reason that it is the closest city of the three to Los Angeles, I will go with Santa Barbara as the final location of the 2010 World Tour.

Mike, as I was reading that I began to hold my head and say "oh- oh- oh!" as it dawned on me you may be right.

I immediately called Sifa and he is going crazy at the possiblity.

I want to post more, but I am almost speechless thinking about this.




p.s., owing to my laziness, there's not much there yet--- but the website Mike is referring to is LeonardOTB.wordpress.com

[scocoh]

I am nervous!

I am scheduled fly to San Diego for a week on the 7th of December. (Also driving to LA and Davis to see my niece and nephews.)

Are Leonard and the band stopping here in Hawaii? If so, will I get burned by travel dates? Will they then go from Hawaii on to California where it will work out even better and I can see them in Hawaii and California? Are they also going to play Maui? When? Will I be able to go to that, too before I leave?



Auwe!!!

a zen haiku...
On the dark water
the moon sparkles with silver
each wave her mirror.
Jarkko you continue to intrigue me with your hints...and now we have to wait until mid September for the announcements...
patience, patience, patience is my new mantra...

I'm afraid California will be left without any share in this tour.

[mnkyface]

But you did say *this* tour...meaning 2010 I presume...meaning that 2011 could bring more possibilities??

I'm afraid California will be left without any share in this tour.

[jarkko]

"This" tour is the only one we've got. There are no plans for 2011. After the last concerts of the 2010 Tour, Leonard concentrates in the new album. Earlies timing for its release would be Fall 2011. Nobody knows what happens after that.
