24 Hours of Thoughts

I just received the following e-mail from R.E.M. HQ:

R.E.M. SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!

Dear Fan Club Members,

Please stay tuned to your email for a very special announcement from R.E.M. HQ around this same time tomorrow.

You are probably wondering what the surprise is: well, all we can say right now is: stay tuned tomorrow and you will find out at the same time as your fellow fan club members. Some of you will be particularly happy.

SO...PLEASE CHECK YOUR EMAIL TOMORROW!

Thanks,

Everyone at R.E.M. HQ

I have no idea what this might mean, but of course I have a few guesses. My long-shot thought/wish is that they're going to announce that Bill's back in the band after 10 years. He's been playing with them a lot lately - GA Music Hall of Fame, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, their cover of "#9 Dream" on iTunes. A guy can hope. Whatever it is, I look forward to chatting about it with Peter when I see Robyn Hitchcock and the Venus 3 at TT's on Friday.

Update: Well, it wasn't what I thought. They're going to play five days in Dublin in June and July. That's still good news since it gives us an excuse to go to Ireland. I've already bought some tickets.
