Mammoth (June 30, 2008)

Fuch yeah, I'm there as well.

This article fails to mention that it's on the 19th as well and all of the bands aren't announced yet... I"m curious as to who else will be there?

the_other_scott (June 30, 2008)

four reunion shows?

so one was in iowa or whatever it was. this is in wisconsin. one will probably be in albuquerque. i'm guessing the other one is either in the middle of nowhere or in austin.

blip (June 30, 2008)

the first one was in Nevada, not Iowa...

the_other_scott (June 30, 2008)

ah. i had forgotten exactly where it was. i just remembered it was somewhere not very obvious.

Mammoth (July 1, 2008)

They're pulling a Hot Water Music.
