Yep yep, I'm planning on heading over in the late spring/early summer - got a solo show around that time, so I have to make sure all that is finished up first. Still have to set the date as well...but I should know all of that very soon! It's been tooooo long fellas!! It would be terrific if we could think up some crazy project to do while I'm over there...don't know what, but why not, right?? I'm sure we can cook up something fantastic!!
