Got my tickets this afternoon.  Not right at the front, but seats w/a 
good view, and hopefully a good sound balance.  :)

I can't imagine a more exciting group reformation for me, given that 
Florian Fricke from Popol Vuh, and John McGeoch from magazine are no 
longer w/us.

The only thing that would make this better would be if Gryphon were to 
reform and be the support act!!

Very cool to see the classic 4 getting back together.  I'd be even more
thrilled if Nic Potter was also there on bass.  Still, the fact that the
VdGG site says that they worked on *new* material when they got
together recently is a very positive thing.
