I'm with you on that. I think announcing it too soon after the announcement would have hurt, but a month or two ago would have been a good time, when little was going on and Gerard was at comic-con.

And yeah, who it is will have a huge effect. I want it to be some lesser known from Jersey, and old friend or something, rather than someone from another well-known band, if that makes any sense. I think that could be too polarizing if it comes with too much in the way of previous work/expectations. Which may well be why they're waiting to announce it, too.

I also don't want to get too excited, because as fun as the summer of 2007 is, I don't know that I can handle the violent excitement and mood swings of that with this band again. I'm standing far more on the edges this time around, you know?
