Thanks moo.
Yeah, busy old boys aren't they!
It's a shame the Leeds gig is only on Babelgum, I can never really get it to play without stopping all the time.

Two things: what on earth is Babelgum and 2009 isn't so good for me so far, sorry guys. It was a bit sad to read but then it's not their fault.
Nice of them to have the mailer out a week before the tour starts and 12 days into the new year

Ditto!
Honestly, do these people think I'm made of money?

the way i think about it is that fans chose to follow them and see them where ever and how many times a year etc etc, so i ain't complaining on how much i spend on them.
it's just boring when you know you could see them but ya can't

yeah but if the temptation is there
I am looking forward to them having a break later in the year/next year if they are
you know this band as soon as they say they are having a break suddenly there is a new album (thats not a complaint) but it would be nice not to have the temptation to go see them and therefore doing something else
although it is very convenient when trying to arrange a get together around a gig

No where near Lollapalooza in Chicago - though I am certain you can get flights to either DisneyWorld in Florida or Disneyland in California if you need to.

Oh I need to go and visit the mouse while there it would be compulsory. I mean shouting you'll never walk alone from the top of splash mountain is really one of the greatest things in the world.
