Today 311 announced some good and bad news about 3-11 day 2010.

The good news is that 3-11 day 2010 is a go.

The bad news is that 3-11 day 2010 will not be held in New Orleans.

Here’s the official release:

As you know, we typically hold our 3-11 Day event in the great city of New Orleans.

Unfortunately, there is a massive medical convention in New Orleans from March 9 - 14, 2010. The convention has reserved 30,000 hotel rooms in New Orleans for convention participants - making hotel rooms extremely scarce & expensive for anyone else traveling to New Orleans during that time period. We have been in discussions with the New Orleans Board of Tourism for many weeks trying to work out a solution to this situation - but with no luck. They cannot guarantee us an adequate number of hotel rooms to accommodate the thousands of dedicated 311 fans that travel to 3-11 Day. And what few rooms they are willing to hold for us are overpriced due to the city-wide convention hotel rates. As a result, in the best interest of 311 fans, we have decided to move 3-11 Day 2010 to another city.

The new location will be announced as soon as possible upon full confirmation. All is in the works. We are exactly 6 months from the event. We will update you as soon as possible on city, venue, special hotel packages, official fan parties and more. We appreciate your patience for further details and your understanding of the location change. 3-11 Day 2010 will certainly be one for the ages…get ready!!!

(New Orleans…311 loves you. It’s unfortunate that 3-11 Day 2010 cannot take place in the Big Easy due to the shortage of hotel rooms that week - but the band is looking forward to the Friday, Dec 4 show in New Orleans on the band’s Fall / Winter Tour. Good times to come!)

Stay tuned for our official 3-11 Day 2010 announcement. Coming soon!

We all like partying in NOLA, but I’m sure the band will come up with a suitable substitute in light of the situation. My personal hope is for a 3-11 day 2010 in Atlanta.

Where would you like to see 3-11 day 2010?
