They ALL appeared to be
having a great time onstage in Boston, even in the wake of Mark's mother's
passing.

With all due respect, he should join Creed as a
full-time gig. Virgos is all right, but they're nothing special. Brett Hestla
has too much talent to waste on a project like that, in my
opinion.

Absolutely. I live in Massachusetts and
where I live now, it was a drive clear accross the State to Boston and it was
well worth it. I'm looking for them to play any venue within 200 miles and I'll
be there. That includes New York City, Providence, RI, anywhere in MA and a few
larger venues in PA. I also promised the Mrs. that she would get to come
next time. She opted out this time and spent a few weeks kicking herself after
she got ahold of my copy of
Weathered.
