If the promoters of this truly believe that it will be a small gig, I think
they are being quite niave. I believe that people will come from all over
the world to this event. It has the potential to be quite a big deal,
and quite possibly the springboard to advance space-rock to a new audience.
I am near Cleve., Oh., and I for one have every intention of being at this
event if in fact HW is on the bill. This will be a show of historic proportions.
