BOC-L Digest - 12 Aug 2012 to 14 Aug 2012 (#2012-101)

[E F]

2 Friends and I bought tickets yesterday.  I can't speak for them though I  
have a feeling that they may feel the same as me:
I feel this is going to be more of a curiosity than anything else. We had  
gotten to the point a long time ago where the shows had become so  
disappointing that we would go 2 years between seeing them.  The last show  
we saw was so bad that it we stopped entirely in 2007.
My hopes here is that BOC will rise to the occasion for this event.
Special guest stars???  I don't expect to see Joe or Albert, though I  
would LOVE too!!  I expect Rudy Sarzo, and some other guys who have  
previously been in the band, maybe Robbie Krieger , and perhaps some local  
some-what known NYC area musicians (no names come to mind right now  
unfortunately).  Maybe the guys from Blotto.

I hope to be pleasantly surprised on October 28th, but don't expect it to  
be much more than another good night out with my friends.
