Joe,

Stoked as always about the new album and I am counting the days until I can get my hands on it.

On a much sadder note, I've checked the tour dates for the new tour and St. Louis is not on it. Now I understand that dates are added on as the tour commences, but why is it that St. Louis never seems to be on anybody's list initially? Last time you were here with Dream Theater the place was packed. This goes for just about every artist it seems, but your show is one of the few I care to see. Chicago and Kansas City are always on the list.

Just feeling a bit jilted in St. Louis.
