As you undoubtedly know, Hurricane Frances will be making landfall in Florida this weekend. HANSON has several shows scheduled in the Florida area this weekend. The following is their status as of 8am PDT on 9/2/04:

*) Orlando (Lake Buena Vista) 9/2: Show will be performed as scheduled. However, if you are traveling to Florida from out of state to see this show, we STRONGLY recommend not pursuing your travel plans. The state of Florida is in a state of emergency, and highways and airports will soon be solely working on evacuations. This could get you stuck in a not so pleasant condition for the entire weekend.

*) Clearwater, FL (9/4/04): The venue has informed us that this show is cancelled/postponed. Stay tuned for further updates.

*) Pompano Beach, FL (9/5/04): The venue has informed us that this show is cancelled/postponed. Stay tuned for further updates.

For those of you in Florida: We wish you the best of luck. Remember that your life is much more important than any belongings you might need to leave behind.
