I really hoped to be able to give you news about all that is coming up. I am very excited about it all. But, until every thing and every component of it all is confirmed I am not able to. However, I have been looking forward to being able to announcing it all myself here. However, in the past several days, certain folks... (And I am by NO MEANS accusing the VAST majority of you guys).. have called the record label, called the management company, harassed my mother and friends, even called the NIP offices in search of information. On the one hand, it makes me sort of happy that everyone seems to be as excited as me. But, on the other hand, it is disappointing that (A) I am not able to give you information myself and (B) that some folks would be so overzealous as to usurp information. The developments of the past day were accidental. My mother had received scores of emails asking for inside information from various fans and, in a moment of confusion, gave more information than she intended to and accidentally "published" her response to her page vs sending it to the individual who was not entitled to it in the first place.

I have always promised to provide you with information here as soon as possible. I do my VERY best to make sure that happens. Whether it be by confirming that press releases make it to the news board here first or, when possible by making sure that I blog information myself.

As of 1/19, the intention was to make a public announcement regarding the "event" by the the end of the following week. However, circumstances caused that public announcement to be pushed back by some time. Feeling bad about leaving you hanging, I implored folks to let me give you at least a bit of information and they agreed. I'm sorry it wasn't enough to satisfy some folks. There is a great deal more information with regard to this all that I am very excited about and that will be forthcoming. But, sadly, I have had to leave my mother and many of my friends in the dark about it all for their "protection" And, as regretful as I am that this will sound like a case of "one person spoiled it for everyone", I won't be blogging about anything myself. I will make sure that you hear it here first. As always, believe nothing until you read it here. (and, OF COURSE, you will still get first dibs on everything) But I think it's probably best that I leave it all information and revelations to the news section for now. It will be there as soon as it possibly can.

Love you all... Look forward to seeing you on the 12th!!!!!
