By the way, in case you didn't know already, Dead and Company are playing here in St. Louis on November 25 at Scott Trade Center.
Dead and Company is Bob Weir, Mickey Hart and Bill Kruetzmann featuring John Mayer, Oteil Burbridge, and Jeff Chimenti.
I'm not planning on going, mostly because tickets are outrageous and they've got John Mayer playing lead...
but anything could happen
