For the non road warriors - you'd be AMAZED what a $100 tip to a driver can accomplish. I wouldn't sweat the details on this one.

That's probably true.

760-340-5845

Phone number for the cab company a couple of us SLO people used to get back and forth from the Beer Hunter and the Hotel. Handy to have cab #'s stored in your cell phone for when the inebriation arises

GUys Luke will be posting soon but bad news on Toto gig....Cancelled Luke will explain

It is not due to the baby but other health issues with other members of the entourage

Now that's a big Bummer

But, well wishes to those who are ill. Hope it's not serious

Mike

Well that's a major disappointment. I was looking forward to my first Toto concert but maybe some other time. Are they cancelling any other concerts before or after the Indio one? At least we'll hopefully see Luke playing w/ BBAS. Hope whoever is sick gets well.

**roburado** · 09-13-2007, 06:51 PM

Man, I hope that this illness thing isn't serious.

**Big Poppa** · 09-13-2007, 08:34 PM

lets keep this on the lowdown until there is an oficial announcement thanks

No problem, BP.

From the Toto website:

Press Release from TOTO — Last update: Fri, Sep 14, 2007

Dear Friends and Fans,

It is with great sadness that we must reluctantly inform all of you that Toto’s September 27th show at The Indio Municipal Golf Course has been cancelled due to the illness of Simon Phillips, our drummer. We thoroughly apologize for the inconvenience to the promoter and the fans, as doctors have ordered him to be hospitalized for possibly several weeks. Optimistically, we are looking forward to a speedy recovery for Simon, with another Toto play date to be announced in the near future. Thank you for your understanding and patience with regard to this recent health concern.
All of your kind thoughts are most appreciated.

Guys, I am sorry to say that our drummer Simon Phillips has been hospitalized for at least the next 10 days or more. He has a chronic illness that can take him down hard and it has. You can never see it coming and he has been well for the last 2 years.. It has flared up bad and he is down, so unfortunatly we must cancell the Toto gig the 27th of sept. A bummer as we were all looking forward to it, but sometimes sh*t happens and we didnt see this coming. A formal press release is on www.Toto99.com

In any event, I will be at all the events as planned and playin with Biff baby's and hangin with y'all. I will be a new daddy by then but the wife has already given me a weekend pass. She understands my life. haha

Once again, VERY sorry but Biff and co. will keep the fun level at high alert.
See ya there
Lucious
