Realistically I'd like to see you guys do a mini-tour of Canada (Quebec and Ontario). Lots of other smalls bands have done this in the past and 9/10 that have done it have returned on bigger tours. I realize money isn't as big of an issue as the schedules of the band mates but I think Canada is cheaper to tour in, is still accessible to many US fans and the promoters in the major cities (Toronto, Montreal) are really supportive of the scene and are also taking risks bringing new bands (not that Borknagar would be a risk). Hopefully this gives you something to consider. Also, please try contacting NOW the promoters of the HeavyTO and HeavyMTL festivals. They are new festivals here and they are still looking to fill in all the slots. It's occurring during the last week of July so who knows. Take care!
