well wickedtongue,
I think the difference between you and me at this moment is that you got tickets for both shows in Amsterdam (am I right?) while I have refrained from buying any, as I'm counting on other gigs in May (presumably in England) and in June (probably in Germany and some other continental countries) but nonetheless it makes me nervous (as no other gigs have been announced within that timeframe and I've seen both Amsterdam shows sell out before my eyes - but I made the decision to skip Amsterdam this time, simply because I was there twice last year and would prefer to spend my money wisely by going places where I haven't been lately). I don't care for the festivals either, too costly and too crowded as they are and lacking the intimate atmosphere of music venues like the Paradiso. but we don't know how long this touring period is going to be, perhaps there'll be more gigs coming up in autumn - yeah, what if Polly gives more gigs in September and all the way until November/December? (by the record of previous tours, this is far from unlikely - so the need for restraint in spending one's limited funds for the sake of later concert emergencies is rather obvious.)
still you're right, of course, about us in Europe being spoiled rotten with gigs.
if I was living in America I would be so nervous right now, with only one regular concert-hall gig announced and having to make a quick decision whether to go to San Francisco (because the show will sell out before any other gigs are announced) and without knowing what other gigs may be coming up... it's really the same predicament (which I've been facing in regard to Amsterdam) but even worse - much worse because of no previous gigs, like we're getting in Europe in February. ("enough for me", you say, may I assume that you're going to all eight of them, in February? our mutual friend Andy is doing so, he has told me, and Lisbon and Amsterdam as well - that's true devotion, I do declare.)
