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!

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.
