Yeah, it seems to be about 50/50 with these reunion gigs. And last time
I checked 50% was a failing grade. I can imagine it now....Little
Steven
(HUGE Creation fan I'm sure...cough, cough...) introducing them to a
crowd of fat middle-aged record collectors who never leave the house
except for "oldies" gigs like this. Guys who should by all rights be at
a
comic book or Star Trek convention.
Having said all that, if the plane fares were low enough and certain NY
friends
kicked down with accomodations, there is a slim chance I could be there
at
Cavestomp (sponsored by The WIZ!).
But most likely NOT.
