While I don't necessarily feel a need to go to the Webster a third time to see a Zonder-less FW, I might do it anyway .... if only for the novelty of being in that venue when it's NOT eight billion degrees inside.
 
That just made my night! One of my all time favorite bands, playing only 30 min away in Joliet! I see they're playing Harpo's the next night. I wonder if they have fond memories of playing there, as I saw them in '92 on the Parallels tour, and half a dozen skinheads showed up. They immediately started picking fights, and Fates left the stage in disgust (twice). Ray was clearly angry, and stated if it happened again, they would leave and this time the show would be over. Thankfully there was no more trouble (since I had driven two hours each way to see the concert) and it ended up being a fantastic performance.
 
Anyone familiar with the Ground Zero venue?

~Brian~

Yep. Played there many, many times. It's a pretty big room, probably a little bigger than The Loft in Atlanta, with a good sound system, but its still a "dive bar". But I love that place. I may try to go to this show as I haven't seen Mick (the owner of Ground Zero) in a few years.

I'll try to post a few pics of the venue later on.
