Also, there are a few notes from Blair regarding the tour dates. First, he says the following about the November 8th show:

Please note that there is an option on the Wednesday, November 8 ROTTERDAM show for HANNOVER, Germany. Hopefully this will get sorted out soon, and I'll list the venue, etc.

Also, he mentions that there is a possible date for December 16th in Athens, although the details have not been worked out yet, so a confirmation should be coming soon.

On another note, Reinoud wrote in to say that tickets for the November 9th show in Holland go on sale this Saturday. We will try to track down a link as soon as possible.

Big thanks to everyone who wrote in about all the news.
