	Argh! No, I didn't get tickets. No-one to go with this year and 
besides it sold out so quickly that I couldn't. Even Farflung isn't 
enough to change my mind about that but it's just vastly annoying that 
again I miss them. I am fated never to see this band live. I do wonder 
why no British leg of the tour. Is our live scene really that bad? Well, 
yes, I suppose I knew that it is. Maybe it's time for another trip to 
Vienna...

	Dagnabbit Keith. I didn't know about the limited edition either. 
Now I may have to go sulk. Yours,
