Re: Band News!!

["gordon" <dwilhelmi@ti...co.uk>]

  If the Aeros play, I guess they'll have to rope it off.

  I came across a pub opposite the Thekla. (Ostrich ? )

  You can see the Lloyds TSB Building from that vantage point.
  Also, the very best piece of graffiti, on the waterside side of the
Thekla.
  Good Beer as well.

  Nice one
