They're here either tonight or next Wednesday.  Passed by the theatre in downtown Mpls on my way to work this morning.  No spare cash and no one to go with.

Got tix for this Saturday in Denver! It's my (and my fiancee's) birthday weekend, so I got tix in a special section where they serve drinks to you at your seat. Woo hoo.

Ben, here are a couple of pix from last night's show at the Midland Theater in Kansas City.  

 Dweezil Zappa and Chick Corea trading solos on King Kong  

 A rousing encore of School Days (poor exposure but I was a little excited).  You'll have a great time. -Jon

Looks like Dweezil has a pretty impressive pedal board! Thanks for the pics!

We'll be seeing Stanley & RTF at the Moody Theater in Austin on Sept 13th.  Any other folks from the River City going?

What was the roster for ZPZ? Did Dweezil intro the players?

Joe Travers is from Erie, PA.  Super nice guy- my friend Bill introduced me to him a few years back when Joe sat in for his band. I believe he relocated to Los Angeles awhile back- looks like it was a good move on his part, eh?
