If every band in the world planned ahead for every possible disaster that could occur, then no one would ever tour. They had a good set of gigs lined up overseas, and the shows with Alkaline Trio would've been great because that band always draws a solid crowd no matter where they play. No one could have possibly predicted that Jerry Finn would pass away precisely in time to wipe some of those shows out.
