R.E.M. get the band back together

R.E.M.’s Michael Stipe, Peter Buck and Mike Mills reunited last weekend, for dinner. It was the first time, spies said, they’d been together since calling it quits nearly a year ago. They met at the Old Homestead Steakhouse in the Meatpacking District where they “caught up and reminisced about old times,” a witness said. Stipe arrived first and declined a private room saying he preferred the “good vibes” of the crowd. The trio and seven pals ordered porterhouses, spinach and mac ’n’ cheese washed down with martinis and merlot.
