It sounds better than the last show. Did you take anything home with you? <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" />

Is there a reason your spelling Portland that way??

pl, that is pretty funny!

I subconsciouly changed it, but hopefully that wasn't because of having visited there several times! :D

Howard,

No, just stupid fingers. Same as for the wrong month.

Russ,

Would've liked to had the First Issue/Police, but it was admittedly priced to keep. I did pick up the 10" barrelled byf for a whole lot less (and I mean a whole lot) than he was asking. Figure I'll shoot it for a bit and then sell it.
