you gonna go see 'em??? Here's a TEDFACT on Iced Earth and Jon Schaeffer in particular....

I called his shop in Columbus IN and left a message saying that I was a fan, etc. and just wanted to stop in and say hello. The store hours are by appt. only....well, a few days later a girl calls me back saying that Jon is preparing for a tour and won't be in the store for a whiiiiiile but thanks for calling. So evidently the tour had been confirmed for a while?

just a little scoop

The Tour had been confirmed for months, but when he injured his back...
Well, sounds like he healed up pretty quick. Yes, I will be there, even if I have to crawl there! I guess I'd better invest in some knee pads & gloves, that's gonna be a long crawl....
