Hey.... Are you Omaha perez? Did you go to the whisky? Just saw the name in this post and thought that name was there...
Thanks for more on the Klaus thing. Now it's making a bit more sense!
Yes, I think there are lots coming to Phoenix. I know of one from CA, NY and DC. I haven't checked the boards yet to see if there's anything planned at this point. Anyone from the area with suggestions? I'd rather be there or walkable to the venue for a preshow gathering (even if it's for a drink in the lobby...) I get antsy and can't eat anyway before a show. After the show, I'm ready for food and drink!
The one thing that would flake me out of an after gathering would be if Fiction Plane had a surprise after show gig. That's where I'll be!!!! There have been hints that that stuff will start happening, so I'm leaving all doors open for that!

I'm jealous of you for making the Vancouver shows! Anyway, I'll be attending the Phoenix show on the 18th with a buddy of mine from Chicago... anybody else on here other than Michelle and myself going? Shall we organize some kind of gathering before or after the show?
And Michelle, about that Klaus Harmony article you posted... there's a Wiki page claiming Klaus Harmony to be a fictional character: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klaus_Harmony. Here's another "news article" linking Klaus Harmony and The Police: http://www.pugbus.net/artman/publish/05127002_11_stingklaus.shtml

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Sting and his band mates in The Police
have clashed angrily over the presentation of a pair of Klaus Harmony
songs on the band's upcoming tour, scheduled to begin here on May 28 if
attorneys for band members are able to sort out their clients'
differences by then.
According to Police guitarist, Andy Summers, the current trouble began
when members of the trio, who have been sequestered in different hotels
during tour rehearsals, met via satellite hookup to select the Klaus
Harmony compositions they would play on tour. Mr. Harmony, known as the
"Mozart of Porn," was a pop star and, later, celebrated composer of
scores for erotic films who died mysteriously in London in 1984 at the
age of forty-three.
"Before me and Stewart (Copeland, Police drummer) could even present
our selections," said Mr. Summers, "Sting was already telling us the
best way to stage the pieces he had chosen. It was 1982 all over again."
To make matters worse, added Mr. Copeland, Sting informed the band that
he wanted to play "his" Klaus Harmony works as solo compositions
adapted for the lute, while a slide show of him and his wife Trudie
Styler, engaging in tantric sex, is projected on large monitors above
the stage.
"I said to myself, 'Who wants to see a pair of wrinkled geesers having
it off on a screen large enough to make their pores look like craters
on the moon?'" said Mr. Copeland. "Besides, if Gordon (Sting's
Christian first name) gets a solo, then Andy and I get one. That's
right in our contracts."
An attorney for one of the band members, speaking off the record, said
he hoped an out-of-court settlement could be reached in time to allow
the tour to begin on schedule."
