I've been through some tough stuff recently (and may well have even tougher things - comparatively; for me; compared to recently - ahead of me)...but, above all else, self-preservation is necessary to be able to do ANYTHING else. Hope the medical condition improves...and the troughs are at least followed by some eventual rises...Hang in there...

(I will also post something like this on F/B, where the Fegs are EXCELLENTLY active among ourselves, but...) Anyone else going to Space tonight? Thanks to Michael Wells, I've got a tic and will be there (by myself)...AND my website and radio show partner bartends at Tommy Nevin's Irish Pub about 3 blocks away, which could be a decent after-show spot... Let me know if any of our other Chicago-area Fegs (not necessarily ALSO named "Michael" / "Mike" / "Mickey" / "Mick") will also be there. I'll be the one who (perhaps unfortunately, but, oh well!) looks like me... Later, skaters...

Man, I really don't know what to say except that I'm really sad to hear how things have gone for the both of you. Glad that I met you both during better times. You and Alice are such very nice people. Maybe it would be a good time to get another cat so you and Nut have some cheerful distractions while you are pulling things back together. Sending you both my friendship and concern, Marc ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 6 Mar 2010 10:14:27 -0700 From: "Marc Holden" Subject: Tucson show cancelled, London and Texas added Robyn was supposed to play at Club Congress in Tucson this upcoming Friday night (3/12). It was listed on his site after the shows in New York and Illinois. I had checked the Congress site for more information, but they never listed his show there (but there was nothing else scheduled for that night either). Checking Robyn's site again, they had removed the Tucson date but now have a show at the Barbican Hall, London listed for March 9th and one in Austin, Texas on March 14th (Electra Luxx movie premiere). I spoke to one of the concert coordinators at Club Congress who confirmed that Robyn was cancelled for the 12th, but said that he is scheduled to play an upcoming festival there (September?) and that Robyn will be curating one of the stages. I'll forward any information I get to the list.
