It's gonna be lots of fun 'cause the people there are so kind and respectful. They leave you alone.

And how many of these bands were affiliated with T&G at the beginning of this 25 year career?

Oh yeah, none. Ha.

I would have thought that any band on pre-hipster T&G would have just laughed at the thought of a "reunion," but I guess I was wrong.
