I'm (almost) speechless with happiness! I've waited years for this day to come. And they'll come even come to Cologne!
I'll go crazy ...

Hmm, if they're gonna announce any UK dates then I hope they do it soon...cos if not, then I'll need to be getting tickets for Cologne or Hamburg! Anyone wanna join me? I'd be travelling from London...

Hey Lostheart, looks like your wish came true...

**Midwest Sick Boy** · May 27th, 2005, 03:21 AM

WOW! I wish I could see those festivals, lots of top notch acts together in one place, I would also like to visit Germany again sometime. My Mother is from Germany and I still have alot of family over there, it is a beautiful country with rich heritage and hard working, no bullshit people.

**Midwest Sick Boy** · May 27th, 2005, 03:22 AM

After Europe maybe another U.S. leg with some Midwest dates? Please!?

I'm not too hot on festivals and so I will skip those, but I will make it to at least four of their shows...who knows when they will return to Europe again (it's been seven years since I have seen them live the last time and they haven't made it over here since)...that's why I have to get my doseage in!
