^^^^^ wooooooo! hooooooo!

I'd better start letting locals know about this.  Not to be missed.  Any 
other SoCal dates?  (Los Angeles or San Diego area).  I'll make the drive 
down to south Orange County if this is the only gig, but I'd much rather 
not have to drive 100+ minutes in each direction.  I'm sure folks in San 
Diego feel the same.  Too bad they weren't coming sooner.  I bet they 
could have played at Baja Prog 10 days ago.
