| NOTE FROM MARTY REGARDING POSTPONING INDONESIA EVENTS |
 |
|
20 May 2005 |
Jakarta and Surabaya taken out of tour, to be re-scheduled
To my friends and fans in Indonesia,
I am very sad and upset that I am going to have to
postpone my two guitar clinics in Jakarta and Surabaya this month. I
was very much looking forward to meeting my Indonesian
fans for the first time, and on top of that I even had my
only day off on the entire tour planned for Jakarta so I
could I meet my fabulous webmaster and his family who live
there.
Television news like CNN may exaggerate their stories, but
when I heard about the anti-American sentiment and the
demonstrations at the US embassy I was alarmed but still
planned to go. After some research, I found that the U.S.
government just issued an OFFICIAL TRAVEL WARNING urging
Americans not to go to Indonesia, dated May 16th, updated
from a previous warning on March 23rd.
As much as I am truly looking forward to playing for my
Indonesian friends for the first time, after giving the
matter serious thought it has been decided that it is not in my
best interest to ignore the U.S. Government's warning and
go at this time.
I am truly sorry especially to the many people who have
worked very hard to put the event together to try to make
it a success for me. Your efforts are truly appreciated.
I will reschedule these events as soon as possible and I
promise to make it up to you when I get there.
Thank you very much,
Marty Friedman
