Cool stuff. I thought Ron had said there'd be no new Watchtower shows unless they actually finished off the new album? Could this mean...

Don't jinx it... Guess this was going to come out in the open sooner or later anyway, but then, if any festival suffers from drop-outs, it's KIT. Hades and Savage Grace on the bill too! I thought Chris Logue was in prison? Keeping my fingers crossed, and off to ask Doug for another update

[IOfTheStorm]

Are you guys gonna make it ronjarz? That volcano ash crap has messed everything.

 

[ronjarz]

What?! A Volcano?!! Do you know if there will be lava onstage??

Ron

 

[IOfTheStorm]

"Very funny". Isn't there always? Now please answer truthfully because... well you know, we ought to know don't we?

 

[ronjarz]

Not sure. We're headed to the airport tomorrow morning where for all we know the flight from Detroit to Frankfurt could be cancelled. It all depends on Delta, the volcano, and the wind...
