Thanks for the update, Craig. Gotta say, this is the
first time I actually got a little excited at the
thought of one of these "reunion" tours...I saw Cast
when their cd had just come out (I'm guessing 97 or so
since that's when I worked at Tower...)Anyway, they
were REALLY good, so I'd imagine there's potential for
this to be decent.
