Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and days of auld lang syne?
And here's a hand, my trusty friend
And gie's a hand o' thine
We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne...

We are crazy, but you knew that. We're doing the New Year's show with Travis. Anger has subsided and we want to go out on a positive note with Travis...we did a lot of good things together and it's not cool to end badly. We could not bear to cancel another show. I know some of you have bought plane tickets and we're sick of letting people down. Beyond New Year's our plans are to make more plans.
Nurse Ratched?!? My medication please.....?

by "go out" do you mean "end the year" only?
that would be the usual connotation of the word at this time of year, but just checking that you don't mean the band "going out with a bang".

Thanks for the update Rogers. Looking forward to see what "more plans" will be. I love crazy people btw Steve, welcome to the forum! Hope we meet at a european show one day! We have a LFC fanatic here, a swedish pop star Joel Jackson.

Thanks Rogers. You know, the five of you have great chemistry together. I hope everything works out well and I am hoping to see you guys again soon! And I am happy that your plans are to make more plans. I can cross my fingers for what I hope for, but I know you guys will choose the right decision for yourselves.
Welcome back Travis!!! (for now, at least?!)

Let cooler heads prevail! One show is better than no show, and we certainly hope this isn't a final goodbye for Blind Melon. The show must go on, so fly on out of that cuckoo's nest soon!

ok...so I've had 24hrs to digest.
yesterday, I "co-signed" a post that basically tore into "For My Friends" not being a move forward. I re-read most of the latest posts along with my own and I've got to take that one back. what I was agreeing with was that (in my opinion), Chris Shinn would and could have pushed the envelope.
the bulk of my disappointment has nothing to do with Travis. it's no secret that i'm a huge fan of Chris. over the last 10+ years, dispite the geogragraphical difference, he's someone I consider a real friend. anytime a friend of mine feels letdown, I feel letdown too.
I know that no matter what happens, Chris will be fine. there's a part of me who's relieved that he'll be re-focusing on his own work. for those of you who don't own his EIE record, do yourself a favor, go to itunes and buy it. it's amazing.
no matter what the band decides to do after new years, I really hope they keep going. there's far too much talent to let it end. I just hope it's a healthy situation for all involved. life's too short to fuck it up.
long live good music.

Thanks Rogers for the clarification - whatever you guys need to do and when and how is and will have to be - fine with me - as long as you just keep on going and never give it up....
Wishing I could ring it in with all of you....but mainly just glad your all still ringin' it in together...

Hey, what ever happens happens...sometimes it is not best to look so much in the future. But, with record contracts and legal issues..who's to know what's going on.
But - what ever it is...I think that New Year's will be a great show and a great year!! I plan on bringing in the new year with my melon therapy and lots of WINE!!!!!
