Absolutely awesome. Moreso that I've never heard of any of those bands (I guess they are British things). Anybody that'd show up to a Joe tribute at least listens to the right stuff though.

I'd love to go, but plane tickets are quite high and I do have my school to go to.

But I'm sure a lot of British lads here will thank you mightilly for this, Bazza

It's a shame I am no longer in England. That's all I can write cos I still get a bit choked over this.

I can't really say comrade. But Can say that I spend my time in the US and Mexico now.

My mouth is watering!!!

STAGE MOTHER FUCKING BOTTLES ARE GOING TO BE THERE!!! I have always wanted to see them live, it's a shame that I missed them when they came to Canada to play.

The Blaggers are also back? I'm not sure if I already have some new stuff with Olaf or if it's all the old stuff.

I really want to go. :(
