Thanks for sharing! Nice pics, as usual. You could bring out a "photobook" incl. comments, about touring through different cities (Jonathan also posted some interesting pics on facebook).

@Ilana: Everyone is welcome to join but we had a deadline as of yesterday to help out the chief with over pre-orders ;) We have decided to have it as a 'close-event' though, no info is going out to anyone who is not on the list. BTW Jonathan is going to be so busy in his own way so we will be happy to see him on stage ;)
