Hey there, Any idea when the next album is scheduled to hit the stores? The reason I ask is because I'm making a collection of songs about fish and sealife (for my own use, and which I'm not planning on selling or using to make money or anything), and I wanted to include "Pisco Bandito." Let me try to explain further. I run live action roleplaying games (they're like a cross between D&D and improv theater). I'll be running one in July called PRAWN in which all the characters are seafood. It's going to be held in a swimming pool. I wanted a tape of music to play in the background. So, if I can't BUY the new album, would it be possible for me to obtain a copy of the song via .mp3 or from a "bootleg" tape from a show? I promise I'll buy the album when it comes out. I don't, really, have anything to trade for a bootleg tape or CD. I could make a CD copy of a tape and snd that back. I have some They Might Be Giants stuff. In the best of all possible worlds, the album will come out before July and everything will be happy. But if not, well, let me know... Thanks!

Where's the upbeat conga music we know and love, huh?" Guys, please don't post everytime there is a concert you miss that you wish you were at.

I think the Ark is All Ages. It's just a room. I think you can buy stuff outside (I seem to remember a brownie Sheryl had at the EFO/Nields Ark show that was yummy) the music room. I know it isn't 21+ because I've been to shows with people under 21. 18+ is a possiblity.

Classic diner (in a diner car), across from the Cinema (inexpensive movies, many of the same movies shown at the Little... artistic, Film festival features, etc.). I can't think of any places between the U of R or RIT that match that description, besides Mt. Hope Diner, but they don't have a sandwich like that. Welp, I'm taking the plunge, so to speak.
