I’m not quite sure how I missed this one..

June 16, 2005I think that I have written and re-written this note about a dozen times, or more. Both in my head, and on paper; the goal here is to be as clear as possible, and I keep feeling that I’m just not cutting it. So here’s take Thirteen:
This fall will be the last full Jump tour for a while. Though you’ll start seeing it in the press (it’s great for our publicity team), we personally are going to shy away from the term “Final Tour??? because Cher and KISS have been bandying that phrase around, falsely, for years. But at this point, we’re taking a break. A good long one.
The short explanation is this: we want to wind down with a bang. We love this job and don’t want to get to the point where we don’t.
I first saw Jump (Then called Jump Little Children) At the North Carolina School for the Arts summer arts program in 1995. I was fifteen years old.
Over the last ten years I’ve seen them every chance I’ve gotten across three different states and in every venue you can think of.
I’ll miss those guys– I hope I get a chance to buy them a beer when they come through Chicago for the last time.
*cry*
I’m sorry you hadn’t heard… I figured you had kept up with the website pretty well. Nonetheless, this is not the end, as they have stated. Although they sure make it out to be the end, don’t they.
Long story short… let’s go to both shows, let’s get drunk with them.

I fear it may be the end and they just can’t admit it to us yet.
Regarding getting drunk and seeing both shows– Hells yes I’m in!
