Hey guys,

Looks like I’m playing tomorrow’s Bad Timing with Gary War, which is cool.
In other cool news Dave & I watched the Sensational film last night and it’s great & I am totally in it, which makes me really proud and embarassed at the same time. Dave is the original fan round here though, and he’s [...]
