Hmmmm... I'll let the blue blockers tell this story....

Keeping with the Geoff Tate black & white photography tradition, here's a photo of the man himself.  Taken between acts at the very last show of 2005 in Ft. Meyers Florida a few things do need explaining.  First, that's a bottle of Geoff's favorite wine in his hand.  Second, he doesn't have big ears rather monitors in each of them.  Third, not sure if that's sweat or wine slobbering on his shirt (for you women out there, does it really matter?).  Fourth, to answer everyone's question... Yes, he'll be going to the midnight showing of Rocky Horror participating as Dr. Frank-N-Furter (note the eye makeup).  =)

Reiner Design Concepts, the art direction company that did all the artwork for Operation: Mindcrime, has been signed back on for Mindcrime II.  Production has already begun and we expect artwork by the end of the year.  On a similar note... Geoff Tate confirmed the fact that Mindcrime II will NOT be the name of the album once released.  More to come!
