This is incredibly awesome! I really hope they make a big splash over there. It was nice to see the amount of shows increse from 2 to 10. I can't imagine someone having the opportunity to see the band almost every night for two weeks!!!!

Also, British Airways often runs winter specials and you can get roundtrip flights for like $200. Perhaps a field trip is in order?

That would be a lot of driving, though, but I guess the Features will be doing it, so...

I would love to be a groupie for this tour.

This tour can only portend good things, in my mind. Exciting news to the max!

Wonder if the new album will be soon to follow?

I just hope they follow it up with a small but extensive US Tour of major cities. You know, Chicago, NYC, LA, Chicago, maybe Seattle, Philidelphia, Houston, and Chicago.

Will
You may like grandma's yard gnomes, but I've seen Rock City. Remember it.

But what will happen to the boy when the circus comes to town?

I'm seriously considering it, I'm going to the first meeting next semester. I'd need some hardcore financial aid, though.
That's so NA.

I have a thought, I think it would be cool if the features held some kind of contest, put some use to the limited 100 Circus lithographs. I think it would be cool if all 100 were bought and then the features drew like 2 numbers and the two poeple with those numbers got to go with the features on their uk tour. I dont know if it would work or ever happen, it was just a thought.

wow, now thats an excellent idea!!! even if the "guests" were required to pay their own travel expenses, that would be an incredible trip. I'm sure that would also help out the sales of the circus flyers as well.

Now why would The Features want to put up with two of us as "guests" on their tour?

If I want to go see them in England badly enough, I'll just shell out the money, buy a ticket, and go to all of the shows. Why does their need to be a contest? Anyone can go!

The cost to house and pay for travel expenses of two fans would trump the income from the remaining Circus posters. Although it would be nice if they did hold this contest, and drew #8.

Cost for travel expenses-- yes. That's why they should just buy that jet they've had their eyes on.

Cost for housing-- no. Roger would just have a little less room in his bed... if you know what I'm sayin'.

Awwww! Congrats on becoming an aunt! That kid is gonna have some awesome grandparents and aunts/uncle! Being an aunt is awesome-you get to be cool and then give them back when they start crying.
