[In The Year Of The Snake]

To sum up some of the vibes of this thread, if this was to be your first UW gig, well that just sucks *mindblowingly*. But I do feel you, and I feel totally safe in saying that you will definitely get your chance again.

About doing another show in L.A. soon, just a guess, but I'm going to go with "not going to happen". As frustrated as I am, UW had absolutely nothing to do with what happened, as has *always* been the case. Rick & Karl are the furthest from irresponsible as you can almost get.

Though I wasn't there, I saw the SF gig via stream and it was bloody brilliant! I'd say that gig more than makes up for this travesty. Also, though I dearly, dearly want to see UW more than anything like, right now. To abandon selfishness is a good thing, so I think if anything (trying to be the shepherd, not the tyranny, here), the east coast deserves a shot before UW goes back. I'm in San Diego, and I no longer have any truly great friends on the east coast, but there's a lot of fellow Dirts over there just waiting to say "hullo" to UW for the first time.
