I sincerely echo the sentiments of those who have posted above me. There will always be another opportunity for the cruise in future.
Light and positive energies to you and your family, Beth, for a quick and positive resolution to this...
I can't get over how much Brian Ashland sounds like Geoff Tate! Digital Ghosts is an awesome album as well. Nice to see they decided to carry on.
Man, it's so close I can almost taste it... I'm just waiting on my funds from my stock sale to clear, about three working days, then I'm booking!
One of the openers is Michael Sweet Jr's band... and I know Zak Steven's new band Machines of Grace warmed them up in Boston and Cleveland and he crowds loved them!
I honestly lost interest in Stryper around the time "Against The Law" came out. Having said that however, I still feel that...

Back to topic, I thought I read...
Okay, fair enough... I'd be very stupid to refuse Raisinettes from a beautiful lady... :)
Anyways, I'd like to offer my $0.03 on this...
I think we mostly can be in agreement that "Transcendence" is a landmark album by any standards... much like "Images & Words" is for Dream Theater. I & W has...
Well, when I heard CIIC, JOP and Crimson Glory (three of my favorite bands) were playing, on a cruise ship yet, I was really hyped to go, then CIIC dropped out and were replaced by Pagan's Mind... so I'm equally hyped again. I had no real interest in the other acts...
