OK, kids -- I have to get this out there so that I can move on with arrangements, so GIOVANNI and OLIVIER, if there are any problems, please let me know ASAP.
Thanks to a slew of incredible volunteers -- and the gorgeous wonders that are Dietmar and Giovanni -- the Flag is going to make an amazing 20 (out of 26) concerts in Europe. Thank you, everyone!
Now here it is, your Moment of Zen:
