Capstone originally called us back in 2000, but we didn't even have a lease for the property in place with the U.S. Army. When they heard in early June title to the property had finally been transferred, they came back with the first purchase offer we have received.

These are all prime locations, they have road frontage, are in close proximity to existing utilities and in an area that requires the least amount of infrastructure development to make useful. The tax district will capture new valuation on real estate only. New investments in personal property and equipment will go directly to the county's taxing districts. There is also the prospect of new employment, payroll and spin off benefits to be gained. Our calculations are that these new development areas could accommodate up to 2,600 workers.

The sale is contingent on several factors, including satisfactory soil tests and local and state economic development incentives being granted. We will extend utilities, extend access to the frontage road and relocate existing rail lines from the site. We will also have the right to repurchase any of the property should Capstone not follow through on any of its building commitments.

(Finishing 11th) is very important to us, but our No. 1 goal, and it's going to start Sunday, is to get some wins,

Viv [guitarist Vivian Campbell ] doesn't like it all that much these days. After all, it was his first with us and he wanted the LEPP thing a bit more. Happily for him, it's back, so you move on. I have some great memories of the recording and writing sessions. For the rest of us, it was very liberating, but like all our albums, some of it works and some of it doesn't. Trust me, there's stuff on 'Hysteria' I'd do over … I love the title track, 'Pearl of Euphoria' is nearly brilliant and 'All I Want Is Everything' was the first song I think I really felt good to have written. It all fell into place at the right time.

We did it for them. These horsemen have all moved to Sacramento. They support us year round. We needed to help them get back on their feet.
