EC finishes his tour on Nov 8th. Presuming he does'nt do the decent thing, (i.e. a gig in his hometown, Dublin) he should be able to make the Cash tribute.

Wow, that would be great even if EC didnt show up. But how great would it be if they all did . . . EC, Bob Dylan, Bono . . . !

I sent in my postcard today. Maybe I'll get lucky . . .
