oh, and just to tack on to the excitement already surrounding sept 3rd, this is exactly what i was hoping for. it's kinda cool this way, because i'll be seeing them early in the tour at shoreline, and then again at the end at sandstone. this way i can see how the new songs progress through the tour which is always badass to see & hear. another advantage to a september date? it's not too hot and it's not too cold here, so that's dope. anyway, that's about it. back to doing my happy dance! :)
