Bikini Kill Reunion in 2009?

Kill Rock Stars just sent out a “big mid year update” as they put it, basically talking about what each of their most active bands are up to lately (releases, tours, etc…).  All seemed normal and nothing special until it came to Bikini Kill.  The first line of the update for them was “No, no reunion news yet BUT we will be reissuing the very first Bikini Kill 7″ New Radio.”

No reunion news YET!??!?  Why would they write this in their artist update if there wasn’t a possibility of a Bikini Kill reunion soon? It has been 11 years since they broke up in 1998.  Musicfest NW (September 16th-19th in Portland, OR) seems to be a big possibility as they have slowly been announcing the bands playing and Portland is very close to the band’s hometown of Olympia, WA.  Judging by the lineup so far, which includes The Get Up Kids, Dillinger 4, and Mudhoney, a Bikini Kill reunion would fit in very nicely.
