Jon's remark about being back in 2005 can be taken a couple of ways. But one doesn't make much sense IMO.
If he was saying to the Giants crowd itself that they'd see THEM in 2005, that would mean the tour would begin late 2004, so the new album would be released mid-2004, recording would be from the start of the year!! No way will this happen, not with him concentrating on his *ahem* movies right now.
I'd think that he means that the band will be back in 2005 for a new album, rather than a tour itself, which I think won't happen until 2006.
I WILL see them then, regardless of where they are playing.

:P
