all beautiful theatres on their way to selling out
we can't wait
a new part of the world to share some music with
i love the look on people's faces when we finish the album
they're overjoyed and in disbelief
our last night of the tour ends in halifax
we'll be flying home groggy
it's going to be heavy

this month we begin our series at the mohegan sun
i believe that this is the biggest casino in north america
we went in a couple months ago with the dark side show
and blew them away
and we were blown away by how nice the staff treated us
so
we're heading back once a month
kicking the new year off with zep 2
