In case you didn’t see my posts on Facebook, yes it is true. FNM has announced they will be doing a tour this summer. You can read it for yourself here, here, and here. The news is all over the web.
Officially, they have not released any tour dates as of yet but they have indicated that it will be a European tour only. Now this of course could change at a moment’s notice but if it remains a Euro tour only, that would be unfortunate.
However, I log onto Facebook this afternoon and I see a comment on my post about this from Cheez. I also get an IM from him saying we should go anyway. He works for Air Canada and gets flights SUPER cheap so he said why don’t me and him go see them wherever they end up playing.
At first I thought, uhm, no. No freaking way. But after a little bit of consideration, it doesn’t seem to be that out of the realm of possibility. I have enough aeroplan points to fly for basically nothing and even if I didn’t, Cheez said he could get me a flight for a little more than $300. The rest is food and lodging.
So then I start thinking a bit more. Fact is, baby is due in May so I am not going to do any travel during April, May, or June. But all of the posts say that the reunion will be via a series of festivals this summer. Summer being the key word. Summer implies July & August. That would not be beyond the realm of possibility.
That having been said, for now, it’s merely a possibility. Once the actual tour dates are announced and there’s some actual venues and more info available, I’ll have to seriously consider it. I could probably save the money I want to do such a trip but it is merely a matter of waiting and see what the official tour schedule looks like.
Besides, I would hate to go through all of that hassle just to find out they are gonna play the Warehouse in Toronto again. If they were, I”d have to bring Chris along.
