    Tuesday night (11/17) I attended what was supposed to be a performance
of Information Society with Cause and Effect as the opening act at Evolution in
St. Louis. I didn't hear anything advertised in advance about the C&E not
playing, and nothing was said at the door nor prior to the show. However, a
local act, Suave Octopus, opened the show. During the break, a rumor that
a member of C&E had died due to a severe asthma attack was circulating in the
crowd.

    Does anyone know anything further? Does anyone know what the tour's
schedule was and what date and location would have occurred just prior to the
St. Louis stop? I'd be interested in knowing if this was the first date that
may have been affected. The lead singer for IS said something about their
next date being in Texas, I believe.
