For the Bob-n-Willie show, may I recommend a little weekend journey to 
either:

Fri 6/10 - Salem VA Salem Memorial Baseball Stadium
Sat 6/11 - Greensboro NC First Horizon Park

Yeah, and I've been having a little trouble figuring that DinoJr ticket 
price as well.  Understand that I'll pay and go, will easily get my 
money's worth of rock, and it's cool the lineup is back together, and 
this is the "cashing in big time" tour and all, but I just don't expect 
an experience that is _that_ different from the various J.Mascis+2 
lineups I've seen over the years.  And those were usually pretty cheap, 
sometimes rather poorly attended, and we generally pretty darn 
entertaining.  Hype, as related to reunion tours particularly, is a 
pretty funny thing.
