HW: GONG tour '97 (or whenever)

[Damon C Capehart]

Heya... I e-mailed the guy who coordinates the GONG tours in the U.S. with
the idea of putting HW and Gong on a joint-venture-tour of some sort.
This was his reply:

So I told him what we here at BOC-L know so far (around May, slightly
larger venues [~1000], Jim Lascko and to an extent Mr.Rats doing most of
the coordinating, etc.).  I also said the following:

"I plan on asking the people on the Hawkwind newsgroup if they can provide
the 'enough support in the land' to put the two bands together."

I told him either you guys could directly send him your opinions
concerning the matter, or we could simply discuss it here on BOC-L and
then I could summarize our discussion and send it to Mr.Gongdude for his
perusal and consideration.  As you can see from the following, he has
decided on the latter option.

In other words, what would you guys think of Gong and HW touring together
in the U.S.? :) :)
