The Caffe Vivaldi site says "admission by dinner reservation only" and from my experience last year it fills up fast. It's 7-9pm; write < Listeningroom32@aol.com> for reservations. Wendy's remaining schedule for this trip is as follows: Las Vegas: Tuesday May 20th Denver: Thursday May 22nd Kansas : May 23rd to May 26th 2008 Heartland Pagan Festival Minneapolis: Wednesday May 28th Toronto, Canada: Thursday May 29th With Dragon Ritual Drummers ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Apr 2008 12:28:29 -0400 From: morayati@email.unc.edu Subject: Gemma Hayes Anyone a fan? I'm working on her entry for the Ectophiles' Guide and need comments. (oh, and: she has an album coming out this May.) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Apr 2008 18:08:31 -0400 From: "Karen Hester" Subject: 4 live acoustic Carina Round songs You can hear 'Slow Down', 'Simplicity hurts', the one about scratching "her f**king eyes out" and a cover of Donna Summer's 'Hot stuff' on BBC Bristol at the moment. Part of an hour-long show, so it's troublesome skipping past other stuff and irritating DJ. They're fairly restrained performances, but I enjoyed them. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/networks/bristol/aod.shtml?bristol/morning_glory Or, go to BBC Bristol, click 'Listen again" and select Morning Glory with Andy Howard.
