Lindsey still has five songs that are unreleased from before, Christine has sent Lindsey a few songs so that he could "Mac them up", and Stevie probably has a few finished demos. Assuming they've all been listening to each other's demos and practicing, recording shouldn't take too long. They could easily be done by June. That would give them July off, and then they could begin rehearsals in August, with the tour were starting sometime in September.

I agree their chops should be very tight. And Christine probably has been playing keys since August before the 02 show. Otherwise there are still a lot of assumptions. Christine mentioned she had 8 songs written. I hope there are some organic processes in the works. But March, April, May, June should be plenty of time to record. July mix/master. 6-8 weeks of rehearsal.
What else are these people going to do anyway? It's good to be busy!
