Considering the recent actions of Gail Zappa towards other Zappa tribute bands (including the Zappanale event), I'm reading this blog post with extreme prejudice. :-)
Despite Bill posting these dates, I would discourage EVERYONE from supporting the Zappa Family Trust in any way.
What are Dweezil and Moon Unit saying about Zappa cover bands?
Dweezil is good enough to do his own shows in my opinion.

Dweezil has made comments about cover bands. He is his mother's son. As for Moon, there is video footage of her commenting about Frank and it is clear she did not think highly of him or how he treated her mother (i.e. he was a rock star and slept around). But to speak out publicly now that he is gone? She is her mother's daughter.
In any case, considering that Gail has made it her life's mission to squelch those that play Frank's music out of nothing but passion for it, it has become clear that the title of Frank's third album now rings true of the ZFT.
"Frank's third album now rings true of the ZFT."
What is ZFT?
I only have two Zappa LPs, and or CDs; his music was weird, albeit classic, but some of his comedy has to go! That sucks he cheated on his wife, and leaving a bad taste in his kids' lives!

ZFT = Zappa Family Trust, the holding company that maintains the FZ catalogue, releases archival recordings, and so on.
