i was easy for Ric to spot in my thank-you-Chris-Monk T-shirt, so we had an instant ice breaker outside the venue about an hour before the gig. remember that VoL show at Brady's i (or someone) told you about on May 8th? monk is gonna be there too. So, is this a must-see; drive-from-all-over gig or what? i'm there! jg
