theres more dates than that. theyre playing denver i thought?

That is all I just saw on a press release?

i just tried looking and came across this-

The shows will take place in September and the line-up will feature original members Al Cisneros and Matt Pike along with Neurosis drummer Jason Roeder (Sleep drummer Chris Hakius has apparently declined to participate).

FUCK THAT.

seems like Chris is starting to not give a fuck

when he quit om he retired. i read hes only doing the reunions(and not the tours) because he feels obligated that he promised the other 2 and he cant turn down the money.

but i dont know. i dont like reunions unless theyre gonna stay together and write new stuff. except for the godflesh reunion. that im into.

Englewood is basically Denver. Going to be a fun weekend!

i was seriously considering going out to portland for the september date, but if Chris isn't there it's really not worth seeing. i've seen High on Fire umpteen times and the Al/Chris Om once...apparently that's as close as i'll get. fuck it.

already bought my ticket for the chicago show and have a full car. might stay for wooden shjips on friday, we'll see. this sort of cheapens it, but i'm sure it'll still rule.

Shit sucks.

stoked for that englewood show. russian circles is opening, and i got free tix.
