I plan to do all four shows and can't wait to hear the new HW lineup.
They've had time time to jell, so hopefully the new sound has cured into
something thick and heavy. Also the prospect of five, six or seven (Capt
Rizz,Lemmy?,Nik??) people making layers of noise harkens back to the old
daze, which I favor. You know long hypnotic jams.

Anyway, I hope to meet many of you. It seems Hawkfans from all over
the US are doing some part of this tour, particularly the festival. Not
being very unique I'll most likely be wearing a black HW T-shirt, either
a
Nethawks/ISOS or Area S4/Starship HW or the 95 US tour OR a white Nik
"explode into space". Who knows, by the last day I may have face paint
and no shirt, doing the ghost dance.

Not sure, but this place looks like its in the middle of nowhere.The
drive from NYC to Sherman could be major task, are people driving after
the Coney Island High gig or crashing (er, sleeping) a few hours.
Highway 17 lookout...
