GREAT place to be in the storm.

We had to withdraw them from the tour. The final three nights were/are within the really badly battered areas, starting tonight. We were asked what the boys are driving and we were told "well, if they manage to get here, they probably won't be able to get out." Tomorrow night (Saturday) they were supposed to go to the venue in coastal Connecticut. YIKES! Awful what's happening out there. Every time I check the Weather Channel, it looks nastier and nastier.

OY, guys - you folks in the Northeast - PLEASE TAKE CARE!!!! And stay INDOORS!!!!!
