Tom Waits will be touring Europe this summer but boy does his schedule make me sad! Most of it happens during our Italian trip and he even plays three gigs in Italy. But all of those in Milano and he comes there two days after we leave and I can`t stay because of him extra days in Milan

Damn! I would really, really love to see waits live and I doubt that I will ever get a chance for it again. Currently I can think of two options how I can go to a Waits concert:
1) on the afternoon of the 19th go from La Spezia to Milan and back to La Spezia after the concert (it`s about 240 km between those two cities)
2) upon returning from Italy to go directly to Dublin (seems kinda expensive but - who knows?).
I would prefer the first option. But I`m not sure that I will be able to make it :(
