FYI: Tickets for Kingston, ON show aren't sold through Ticketmaster
Adam wrote in to let us know that for Tool's Kingston, Ontario date, you have to buy tickets through The K-Rock Centre rather than the traditional outlet, Ticketmaster. Tickets went on sale last Friday, but Adam grabbed a pair of GA tickets yesterday, so there are still good tickets to be had. Get while the getting's good! Thanks for the heads up, Adam.

FYI, if you've been putting off buying 'nerve-ending' hoodie, this is your heads up - it's now officially out of print, and will no longer be available once it sells out from various merch places.
The first place it's probably going to sell out is at the Tool Hotline Store, because it's only $27 there - $8 cheaper than on the band's site, before shipping gets factored in.
Anyway, I got the heads up and wanted to let you know. If you can find it anywhere else online for cheaper, let me know so I can share, but I'm pretty sure we're selling the cheapest official tool merch anywhere.

Blair Confirms Summer Tour
The rumors that have been floating around for a while now have turned out to be true. Blair confirmed on Toolband that Tool is definitely going to be touring this summer.
Pretty awesome news. It sounds like they'll be doing a full-scale, country-wide tour, so hopefully we get some cities and dates announced soon. Tool is kind of bucking the trend here by touring before they release a new album, so maybe we'll get to hear some new songs on the tour?
I'm sure many of you have heard of an upcoming summer tour. Although I can't announce any specific dates yet (as the bulk of the dates haven't been confirmed), once they are finalized and official, we'll be sure to announce them on the site. So... be on the lookout for these dates to be posted soon, and get ready for live Tool this summer. (Now I understand what that elemental was referring to in the February newsletter)
