[kj] Birmingham

[Nick Scott]

Is that the pub next door?  Looked as dodgy as fuck when I saw Leftfield a
couple of weeks ago.  I wonder if KJ will be drinking in it, I wouldn't mind
getting to the venue early and seeing if I can get a minute of the bands time to
sign the new CD considering they are not to be doing any signings in any B'ham
record stores...seems like a missed opportunity for somewhere like Swordfish
records.
