Well unfortunately it is a result of an even greater travesty..
This morning on the 6AM local morning news.. Mr Menconi mischaracterized the 
Rovers as "flash mob kind of stuff" which caused  the Rovers to instantly 
lose our Franklin Street cred.. see clip
http://www.nbc17.com/midatlantic/ncn/news.apx.-content-articles-NCN-2008-01-25-0004.html

This greatly disturbed the Rovers and our legal team began looking into it. 
It was discovered that our publicity department had sent talking points to 
bloggers characterizing us as  "flash dance kind of stuff"... our editing 
department hadn't updated their grammar/spell check since 2002 and 
accidentally changed the talking point to flash mob..

This has sent our Great 8 campaign into a tail spin and we will have to pull 
out of the Great 8 race.  We will give our concession speech at the Local 506 
on saturday night after our video is shown..

I'd like to thank our SOC street team for pounding the pavement.  Now the 
money should start rolling in from album sales in Cary

>Why the hell are the rovers not playing Saturday night?

That was their choice.  They were invited as either a fourth on-stage
act or in-between band side-act entertainment, but unfortunately chose
neither...glenn
