SPRING TOUR COMPLETED:
311 have now completed their seven week U.S. Spring Tour
across 30 states, coast to coast. THANKS to all the fans
and to the opening acts Hoobastank, Grasshopper Takeover,
Goldfinger and Zebrahead for making it an amazing journey.
311 had a great time mixing up the set lists and pulling
songs out of the vault that so many of you have been waiting
to hear. Check
out the Set Lists Page to see what songs were played
at each show.
Unfortunately we had to cancel the Washington DC show due
to Nick's throat infection. We were all disappointed about
cancelling the show, but it was our only option due to the
severity of Nick's throat condition. In response, here is
an email that NICK posted on the 311 Bulletin Board:
Whatsup everyone? Sorry I haven't been on the Bulletin Board
in awhile. Lately I have been devoting all my extra time
to singing, song writing, and preparing for the shows. Right
now, my doctor has forbidden me from even speaking, so at
least I can type on the computer. I just want to express
my sincere apologies to our fans in DC. This is the first
time in nine years of touring we have had to cancel a show
due to illness. I would opt to still do the show if it were
physically possible, but my voice has given out. I went
to the doctor today. He put a small camera up my nose and
down my throat to look at my vocal chords. I have a lump
on one side of my vocal chords. He said this is swelling
due to pushing my voice while I was ill with a sinus and
throat infection. He called it acute laryngitis. He said
it was imperative that we cancel at least one show so I
can heal. We are hoping that the the tour will resume tomorrow
in Lockhaven, PA and there will be no more cancellations.
I am on a variety of medicines and I feel somewhat better.
This whole sickness thing is such a bummer. I was having
such a blast at the shows until I got sick in Raleigh. 3-11
Day was perhaps the greatest night of my life. Hopefully
I will be back to full strength soon. A setback like this
just serves to remind me what an incredible gift being in
311 is. Performing and connecting with all of our wonderful
fans is a privilege.
Nick
WHAT'S NEXT?
311 will now take a little time off to write new songs and
to relax. In fact, Nick just returned from a week in Jamaica.
In May, 311 will begin working on material for their next
record. 
They already have a handful of ideas, notes and melodies
in their heads. Writing will lead to rehearsing back at
the band's studio, The Hive, over the summer.
At this time, no tour dates are on the books for the remainder
of 2002. After touring for a year and a half throughout
the U.S., Europe, and Japan in support of "From Chaos",
the band is going to take a break from the road so they
can focus on the next record. Stay tuned to the 311 website
for any touring updates.
THANKS again to all of you that came out to shows on the
From Chaos Tour. We know many of you travel far and wide
to rock with 311. Your love of the band is recognized and
most appreciated.
LAST CALL WITH CARSON DALY:
On Friday, April 26, 311 will invade NBC studios, in Los
Angeles, for a performance on "Last Call with Carson Daly".
Over 100 fans from the LA Street Team will be selected to
be a part of the studio audience. The show is not broadcast
live - so stay tuned to the 311 website/bulletin board and
to your local tv listings for broadcast information.

3-11 DAY 2002:
On Monday, March 11, 2002...311 returned to New Orleans
to stage an even greater 3-11 Day concert event. The sold
out show at UNO Lakefront Arena roared with 8,311 rabid
fans from around the country who came to celebrate 3-11
Day! Fans from Michigan, Washington, New York, Kentucky,
Oregon, Illinois, California, Florida, etc united for a
spectacular show. 311 played 59 songs in 3 hours, 47 minutes.
The band's longest set ever! 311 played all their classics
plus a ton of rarities. Visit
the Set List Page for a full listing of songs.
The show also provided plenty of special surprises, including
Aerial Acrobats suspended high above the stage, Fire Jugglers
/ Fire Eaters, Mardi Gras Big Head Paraders (Puss 'n Boots,
Peter Pan, Tony Danza), Confetti Cannons, and a massive
Balloon Drop of 2,000 colored ballons that filled the air
during "Who's Got the Herb".
Here are some thoughts from P-NUT on 3-11 Day:
Damn what a show, what a great group of fans, I think that
I am still sore...I can't wait to do it again. It was kind
of like all the shows that we've ever played wrapped into
one...all the places that we've ever been, all the people
that we've seen out on the road...pretty nuts. I love that
after all these years, that we can still get people to go
crazy and travel all over to see us play a marathon....there's
nothing like it....I love my damn life, thanks for everything
that you fans do to help us live out our dreams....Be good.
Take over the world, that's what it's there for.

New Orleans was a big 311 party in the French Quarter, Friday
through Monday night. Fans decked out in 311 t-shirts filled
Bourbon Street and sang 311 songs and chanted in the streets.
It was wild. Once again, the Mayor of New Orleans presented
the band with a plaque proclaiming March 11th as 3-11 Day
in New Orleans.
Here are some thoughts from a few FANS on the 3-11 Day show:
I just have to say WOW!!! OMG, I can't even tell you the
electricity in the room, the guys were so on! The cool fire
dancers and the trapeze ladies were awesome and the band
sounded great. I went to the first 3-11 Day show and apart
from the arena being so big, this show was the best show
EVER!!! The setlist was unbelievable and they went from
beginning to end with no stop in the flow. The band went
above and beyond and they never cease to amaze me. Everytime
I see them I love them more than before. The guys are all
great and what they do for their fans is neverending. I
can't wait for the 3 shows that I have next week. 
I swear I never tire of seeing them. Also, it was amazing
to walk down Bourbon street and see so many people wearing
311 shirts and chanting 311... the entire weekend. It was
unbelievable!
Jessica
One word: WOW. They played for three hours and 45 minutes.
Nick let us know before the show started that they were
gonna beat the last 3-11 Day record. Once we were at 47
songs (like last time) he let us know (with an announcement
from the stage). Completely amazing!...I'm so glad I made
it, and damn, wow - incredible!
Linz
My wallet is empty, my throat is sore, and my feet are killing
me, but this was indeed the best weekend of my life! Thank
you 311, thank you Rasplers, and thank you to all the cool
peeps out there that made this weekend so much fun! Rockin
to 311 for life!
