Phil's Summer Itinerary

The following is the plan for Phil's summer of following Metallica around. More elaboration later.

KEY
* - May not arrive it before doors open
** - Definitely won't arrive before doors open
RED - Concert
BLACK - Road
BLUE - Work
All times are of the format start - end ~ approx total time. The symbol "~!" means its a stretch to drive that much in that time.
In most cases I gave an hour for getting gas, food, etc.

Also note that the times don't take into account time zone changes, but I've denoted what trips will be effected and by how much on the first day of the trip so that I can take these into account on the road.
