Joe, are you gonna make it to one of the MBV gigs? Is there one down your way? I got a pair of tickets for the Glasgow gig, naively thinking they wouldn't tour North America.

i've resigned myself to not making it since the closest is either new york or chicago. being rather apathetic about gigs lately, mainly for lack of gig companions. might pull my finger out and go and see mogwai for the umpteenth time in a couple of weeks...
