If it all adds up correctly...

According to a blink-and-you-missed-it blurb in boston.com last week:

"It's sounding like the Dave Matthews Band will be at the ballpark for a return engagement. (You'll recall that DMB and opener Sheryl Crow played two shows at Fenway in 2006.) E-mails to Live Nation, the team, and the band's publicist yielded no official comment yesterday, but we're told the jam band is indeed on board to play a couple of shows at the ballpark. Wondering about dates? Nothing's set, but for planning purposes, the Sox are out of town during the last week of June, the third week of July, and the first week of August."

Well what do you know. DMB summer tour dates were released today on the official website, and may I please point attention to 5/29 and 5/30. That's right. Boston, MA. Location TBD. Just a hunch, if it were to be at the trusty Comcast Center in Mansfield, MA as normal, it would say so. Better keep your schedules open for the end of May, and hope for another Dave Matthews rendition of 'Sweet Caroline.'

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

Don't lie to me. You were a No Doubt freak too. You wore the bindi on your forehead because Gwen rocked it so well. You sang 'Just A Girl' around your house, while it blasted out of your Sony Walkman (as in cassette player. Yes. It was that long ago.). You wanted to dye your hair pink like Gwen did, but your stuffy, New England bred mother wouldn't let you because she said you'd get kicked out of your snooty private school. Despite this, you still tried to dye it with watermelon Kool-Aid (bad idea, by the way, the smell attracts mosquitos like whoa -- not that I would know or anything. All hypothetical here.)...

Anyway, get pumped and bust out the copies of 'Tragic Kingdom' and 'Rock Steady' because of this. Can someone please cue up 'Don't Speak.' Thanks.
