The Gov't Mule show 11/6 at Park West has been postponed. DESCENDENTS IN ELGIN -------------------- I just got mail from Dave Eaves that starting Friday, Descendents tickets would be available at Earitable Records in Oak Park (708-445-9288). I've also received requests from out-of-towners who were planning on making the trip here as to whether tickets were available from anywhere else. I told them to mail Dave directly at CallD4info@aol.com, and apparently Dave has taken care of them. That's all I know.
