Good point...never thought about the vending part.   Did they charge
$CAN up there?  ;-)

Well, it really all depends on your agreement with the official band
members (read: owns the name of the band).   They might ask you to
play bass on this tour, or record some saxophone for a few songs on
this album, etc.   This sort of thing happens all the time, and
doesn't mean that the person involved is necessarily a member of the
band, or is going to be.   The official members of the band have to
invite you to join the band as an official member in some capacity
before that can happen.

Did that make any sense?
