I just got a call from a friend about this...
He said 'fog'.
WTF.
If it is a family emergency I understand.
But wow.
But seriously, I hope everything is alright.

It's not fog. It's a family emergency according to q104. The concert is still happening, for free.

I doubted very much fog. Apparently they were in town last night. They were at Maxwell's Plum having a few beer and giving out tickets.
Is the show only free now for people who already had tickets, or just anyone who wants to show up?

Well, I'm no longer going, that's for sure. Silver lining: $170 back on my Visa. I sincerely hope that all is ok with the band and whatever emergency has befallen them. My thoughts and prayers are with the band and their families.

I assume no-one has heard what the emergency is? I assume not, haven't seen anything in the media about it.
