Maybe this put the Shakespearean hint into their mind. If they ever play there again, it's a fabulous place to see them. Very intimate. I know it's out of the way for most people, and I drove from Richmond, VA on a Thursday night to see them. But it was definitely worth it. Got my copy of 3 Rooms and it's awesome. And I was lucky enough to be at the Birchmere show, the night of the Love Me Like a Man comment. And the "Going to the Pool" music from the Beverley Hillbillies. That was a great show too. Can't wait to see them in Charlottesville at the Starr Hill Theatre. _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 12:35:21 -0500 From: "John Ryan" Subject: Re: Three Rooms! > Hey!!!
