The TWA Adrenaline show advertised for Sept 4th in Fort Erie has been "Postponed due to tour dates." The announcement was made Aug 27th by Joe Butski to members of the TWA Facebook Group. A week or so ago the Sept 4th TWA event was renamed a TWA/CWF show, presumably because a number of TWA stars (including promoter Kryss Thorn) are currently on tour with CWF. No date was announced for the next Adrenaline show.
