Our pal Chris, aka brandmanjr, couldn't make it to WebbFest because he has a role (the lead role, actually) in a production of Eugene O'Neill's The Hairy Ape here in St. Louis. The reviews are in, and they're very good! Here's a link to the Post-Dispatch article:

As you may know, Chris is a big Webb fan who posts here, rarely misses a local Beatnecks show and often pitches in by selling merch. Way to go, buddy!
