Actually the first Ween song I worked on when I was teaching myself guitar. Real good.

I haven't been able to post this because I left it at a friend's house, but here's a picture of the Dean Ween poster they were selling at the Portland show (EDIT: there was also a red/white peppermint themed one, but I had to go with purple.):



Detail shot:



And a copy of the set list for the Seattle show (I've got a copy for the Portland show somewhere in this room and I have no idea where):

Big announcement coming soon?

Anything less than a reunion would be a huge letdown right now.

More unreleased material would be cool. Re-release of the Chicago DVD or some other live performance on Blu-Ray would be really nice.

The rumor mill has been rampant for weeks on this. Apparently there is a single reunion gig in the works.

Not sure how to feel about it if it comes to pass. Frankly if they are both going through with it because it pays the bills, I understand. But I don't really expect a full reconciliation this decade.

I mean, people can do what they want to do in this life, but I really suspect there is no gig and it's just rumor from nowhere.

Awe I was getting Ween.net confused with Ween.com. That's a bummer. I've been reluctant to buy into the recent rumors but I thought this was from an official source.

Let me start off with a basket of chips. Then move on to the pollo asado taco.
Yeah I was just about to post this...they now just posted a pic of Dean and Gene hugging. I mean I would absolutely love them to get back together properly. But I guess my main thing would be so long as they can work it so it isn't at the expense of Gener's health. If the bills need to be paid that badly that he's willing to risk going into that risky environment again it's pretty bad. Hopefully, if/when it does eventually happen they really work out a way that it'll be supportive of keeping him on track.

That would be great. That guy has a lot of good content however removed most of it from his facebook.

If it was a money issue why not just put out an album every few months with unreleased tracks. I'm sure they would make a ton on that.

Have fun at the show kids, I've seen Ween "fake it" enough times to put myself through it again. Love to be a fly on the wall for this contract negotiation...

Well, hm. I don't think I'm going to have the cash to land tickets, especially with travel costs. I hope this means they're actually on speaking terms again and it's not just "gently caress, we could use some dollars."

Just take her to Colorado and put up with the constant "NYC isn't how I expected it to be" comments from her

She was actually open to going there when I showed her the video announcement, since she loves traveling the world and absorbing different cultures (I told her about Colorado's natural beauty as well as their weed culture). But then I'd have to pay for airfare and find a place to stay, whether it's with a friend in the area or at a hotel, and on top of all that, I don't have a credit card handy right now. So it's not happening.

I'll just take the fact that I saw Gene perform Billy Joel covers as a consolation prize in case they never reunite again (unlikely... I think Dean is particularly hard up for money because he made a GoFundMe page to get a new tour van. I guess teaching fishing on the Jersey Shore doesn't pay the bills enough). But I figured something was up when he did that performance as Gene Ween instead of Aaron Freeman.

With the venue, does anyone know which is the better option -- floor or bowl?

Nevermind - answered my own question. Floor is more expensive so I assume it's the better option.

Entered the lottery tonight for me and a friend. I hope to secure tickets tomorrow. I'm nervous to compete with the scalpers on Friday when they go on sale.

Airfare is going to be more expensive than I thought (flying in from DC) but we'll have friends to crash with at least.

Who all is traveling far for the shows?
