reviews/comments

from john van:

john was back in the lineup. they got a pretty good response from the crowd, which was maybe a few hundred people. this was the first time they had ever played houston; one funny moment was after "ithica", stuart made a request to the audience, "could anyone who taped that, please send it to us cos it'd be important for us to have it."

from alex espinoza:

i met barry and martin, nice guys. great fuckin performance, was my first time seeing them live and no complaints here.
