[kj] OT: Coachella 2005 reviewed

<hope there will b a dvd out of there 
whole 
set..>
 
there were a whole bunch of people filming and shooting them (on/side of stage).....if they make a dvd of that set it'll be a good one.
 
I *think* I'm on myspace (my band supposedly has a page on there somewhere....) but please send me an invite and I'll check out that forum.   cheers,
 
Tom.
