i've never watched "sesame street" as a child, so i'm very grateful for jarkko's great alphabetical service.
i always wanted to know how the story keeps goin after the letter "d".
now you can imagine my surprise when i first read jarkko's latest announcements.

so, maybe the big news that we will learn about on monday is, that leonard has won the national spelling contest of canada
and now he wants to invite all of us to celebrate with him?

Goodness, it's all been happening while I was sleeping!!

EABCD or DCBAE or..... is it as simple as ABCDE!

ah Jarkko, you just love doing this .......oh, the anticipation!

btw.....thanks Roman for suggesting D = Down Under!

Seems unlikely after that. Just saying

If there IS a tour, and it hits Europe in September... I wonder if Edinburgh Castle is a likely venue again? Last year they held 2 concerts there during the first weekend of September! Fingers crossed!

All will be revealed very soon, I'm just going to wait and see rather than try to decipher the cryptic clues (also I'm just rubbish at that kind of thing )

you are right, roman!
this wasn't the only conclusion one could possibly come to.

so, maybe leonard wants to cook a delicious alphabet soup for all of us?

I really like this option

Please please, let this not be a tease!

I think Goldin is Golden with his answer .

The spelling contest is good, too, though.

Or ABCDE is going back to the basics, as in Old Ideas.

Really, though, I like Goldin's, with America clearly on there.

tick...tock...tick...tock...tick...tock...tick...tock........all the patience in the world - just for you Jarkko (and Marie)

E ?
E for Eire (Gaelic name for Ireland) !

Eija and I have had a lot of fun here while reading all the theories about the secret meanings of A B C D E !!
(This is how the conspiracy theories are born around the world )
I can assure you that there is no mysterious da vinci code hidden behind these letters. I needed to have links
to these threads for the new Leonard Cohen Files pages I have programmed (those will be uploaded on Monday).
The titles of those five threads will change. Each letter will be replaced with a date.

Rest assured Eija and Jarkko - we are having fun with you also. I am sure most of us here know that there is no meaning behind ABCDE except what you have told us - now, as to those three dots after your signature, which 3 concerts will you be attending

can not wait but will sadly have to wait till i get home from work!

I hope it won't stop anyone having fun with speculations but based on the (not confirmed) informations we already have, my guesses for the 5 topic names:
Aug 12 Ghent
Aug 14 Ghent
Sep 02 Helsinki
Sep 25 Verona
one date around the end of August or the beginning of September for Dublin.
Eva
(I checked Ryanair for tickets to Dublin but the price was rather shocking, at least twice of what I expected )
