[kj] Roundhouse

[Andreas Misera]

It was a spectacular gig indeed - one of the best (if not THE best) KJ gigs I‘ve ever been to.

And yes, meeting many old (and also some new) Gathering friends was a big part of the joy I had last night.

I hope this will happen again in a few years or so. :-)

Cheers,
-Andy
