Where did he post this? The Lh board is down right now. I guess they're switching servers.

I hope that "lot more going on" includes shows in CT, NY and MA!

[Ceeje]

I hope he didn't get in trouble for saying anything. It made for a couple of exciting days. lol

[mcmaniac]

I hope their busy schedule includes a show or two in St. Louis!!

[mchell]

He did not post it. I asked him through myspace blog and he responded to me with that.

[mchell]

I was also trying to get into LH board so I could tell them what he said. There are a bunch over there wondering what's going on.

Here is the entire conversation:

The fans want to know. When are you going to be hooking up with INXS again? I am mainly concerned about 05/25 Orpheum Theatre Minneapolis Minnesota.

Hey mchell - Thanks so much for getting the word out! I think we've all been running around trying to figure out tour schedules for the past two days.

Sounds like there is some very exciting news around the corner!

[DG]

I can't wait to get around that corner!!!

I hope it involves an Asia/Australia tour on one hand.. On the other I hope for a US/Canada tour. Either way.. I want them to get touring again. It's what they were born to do.

[Ceeje]

Thanks, mchell! The Lh board is up again. :~)

I like that "we have a lot more going on". :~D

eta: I just posted it at the Lh board. Hopefully people can put a stop on those plans.

Hey DG - Yeah I totally agree - I'm just hoping and praying that they include this part of the world in their plans. An all-states tour would be so amazing. I'm soooooooo ready for it - BRING IT ON!!!

I still can't get onto the LH.com board over there. Can you ladies get onto it still?

[Ceeje]

It's working for me.

This is Chris' original message about the server change:

Due to ongoing issues with maximum outgoing email limits and frequent outages, we'll be switching to a different server.. the new server has no email limit, you'll get your notifications much faster, and you most likely won't ever see the "failed sending email" message again.

The downtime will be just as last time, DNS servers will be changed. To avoid the split server confusion, after the files are switched to the new server, they will be wiped from the current one.. that way you might get an error message, but there won't be duplicate boards.

The downtime is dependent on your ISP's speed to update DNS. If it took 2 days last time this happened, expect two days without being able to access the forums. If it took a few hours, expect the same.

This downtime could last throughout the weekend, as I said depending on your ISPs DNS updates and how long they take to go into effect. Some of you might not even notice a downtime, most likely you'll experience a window of around 10-30 hours of not being able to access the site.

For all that cannot access the LH.com board

I am actually relived to hear this news. I don't think it would be a good idea to tour with INXS again because they do need to break away from that whole thing. I know that the fans in other countries are dying for the chance to see LH live, but they really need exposure here in the states. I think that gigs like they are doing in Memphis and the In the Zone or whatever its called are great ways to earn new fans. There will be many people there to see other bands and "discover" our Lovehammers in the process. Also, I want to keep them in the states for my own selfish reasons! I can't very well see them if they are in Berlin. LOL

[chk]

ahem, Vicki, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
nothing personal, but you (as in North America) had your chance!
I am thinking it's time to really spread the love (hammers)!

modified to say, just kidding Vicki -- about growling at you. Not about disagreeing!

[Vicki]

LOL! I fully expected to be growled at when writing that post. I know I would be growling if it were turned around. I did have my chance to see them but hey, what can I say? I am greedy!!!! (insert evil laugh here)

I'm worried about something a little different now. In the recent interview Marty had with two of the Sisters, he said that they will have an announcement soon and they may be going on the road again in a few weeks (I'm paraphrasing, because I don't know exactly when the interview was conducted).

I'm concerned that they will sign with a band who have already had tickets on sale and may be sold out by now. Most big-name bands sell their tickets months before the performances. Many of them don't know who will be opening for them until only a few weeks before. We got INXS tickets because we knew far in advance that LH would be opening for them, and as a result we were among the first round of ticket buyers. I would hate it if LH fans can't get tickets to the next tour because we find out too late.

[chk]

Wendy, I am thinking about that too -- INXS and most other big acts are all already selling/sold out. We will need to be diligent about getting tickets and keep our eyes peeled for more of those one-off gigs. Ah, the perils of lovin' the opening act.
