This is an awful way to discover such a wonderful idea. My condolences to Flip's family. The band was scheduled to be here in Chicago on Wednesday. I hope they decide to postpone the show to mourn the passing of their friend and colleague. | ||

It was P-Funk, not the Rubberband due in Chicago Wednesday, a friend & I cancelled plans to attend (we're about 12 hours away) yesterday after reading a rumour on 1 Nation that the show would be cancelled or postponed since it's really far from the southern and west coast dates the band is concentrating on at the moment. | ||

My bad, you're absolutely right. I still haven't heard if the shows been offically cancelled or not though. | ||

But guess what, don't know if it's gonna be The Tackheads or P.Funk (which are 2 different bands totally) is what I heard from a very close source. And then again Chi Drummer & Erik T it maybe held a day before?! | ||

Chi Drummer: Read my post above. And if your still not sure, check your net (where the event is being held), the local news papers or the radio stations. That's how I missed out on this yr's African Arts Festival. |
