i hate long plane rides, and i had just gotten back from my honeymoon, in europe a few weeks prior, so i blew off a chance to see the reunion show, figuring there was about a 70% chance of a tour. Almost every band that plays a full length reunion set in a full arena tours afterwards - if they are going to spend all the time to rehearse, put together a production, etc, why not take it on the road and milk it for some big bucks and pampered glory.
Might prove to be one of the biggest mistakes of my life.
