Eugene! Thanks for doing this AMA. As a New Yorker: Thank you for giving our city so much love! I've been a fan for a very long time and converted many friends to your music over the years. Your voice and style are so unique that people sometimes question my sincerity when I recommend they listen to Gogol. They are however truly swept away whenever I bring them to one of your shows. They are chaotic, rhythmic, worldly, and beautiful. Ultimately uniting. I love when I can introduce someone to your music at a festival and they have no idea what they are about to experience. Thank you for putting on these passionate performances. (You play a mean fire bucket)

My question is this, given how important your message is to you and how dedicated you are to spreading the idea of appreciating different cultures, would you ever consider doing something like The Pied Piper of Hutzovina again? Even if it was scrapped together footage of behind the scenes world tours, visiting different countries and seeing the world through your eyes was an amazing experience. Please consider it!

..... Also wanted to say that since Super Taranta!, Gogol Bordello has been my dream wedding band. (It'll be in another year or two, but I could start stacking up on vodka and herring)

Edit: Spelling

Met him outside a bar in downtown Manhattan once. I praised his work on The State. Super nice guy. Wish I coulda thrown some Role Models quotes at him. That guy needs to be in everything.

edit: grammar

Mishto!
