Will the Cheech & Chong Reunion Continue?

Richard 'Cheech' Marin's career is stronger than ever right now.  He has Robert Rodriquez's star-studded, Machete, being released September 3rd.  He also has a lucrative Disney Pixar Cars 2 film and merchandising deal.

So the question is 'Will Cheech & Chong's November 20th reunion show in San Antonio be their last?'

Cheech and Tommy have both admitted they're only doing this tour for the money.  That's why they refer to it as their 'felimony' tour.  Chong has numerous legal bills from his felony conviction for conspiracy to mail drug paraphernalia to undercover federal agents in Pennsylvania.  Richard Marin has large alimony payments for his ex-wives. 

During their summer hiatus, Cheech has been keeping busy with mainstream film roles.  Tommy, on the other hand, is back to doing stand-up with his wife at clubs such as the Hyatt Regency in Guam.  Yes, Guam.

They both say they're each like a piece of a treasure map.  They need both pieces to find the treasure ($$).  However, the hope for a movie deal has failed to materialize and the release date for the Cheech & Chong Animated Movie keeps getting pushed back.

Only time will tell what happens.
