Will they play at my house or won't they? I wish they would reply to
my invitation. I wrote it in my own blood as a demonstration of my
sincerity and everything.

Hello All,

With unbridled enthusiasm for the June release of 'Icky Thump',
NME.com has printed a North American tour routing that holds no
semblance of reality. Indeed, it looks like their journalists simply
found and printed the tour routing the band did in support of their
2005 release, 'Get Behind Me Satan'.

In fact, The White Stripes have yet to confirm their North American
routing as of yet. But we are happy to say that it will include all 10
provinces and 3 territories of Canada, as well as the remaining 16
states of the United States the band have yet to play. A few major
markets that have been journeyed to in the past will be also be included.

The North American tour will start in the state of Tennessee.

Best Regards,
The White Stripes Management
