I considered the trip to Austin, but $650 for an Aeroplane ticket is a
bit much. They also wanted to route me through New York (from Las
Vegas)! Now does that make any sense??!

        Hi everyone
        
        Here's the latest...
        
        There will definitely be new t-shirts on sale at the Thunderbolt
gig  
        on Sunday week. We're making 100 (in all shapes and sizes!). Any
left  
        over will go on sale through the website. There have been a lot
of  
        people enquiring about the availability of the "Lit" series CDs.

        Unfortunately the limited edition individually numbered gatefold
type  
        copies of all 4 released so far sold out within a few weeks.
However,  
        Sam has made 25 jewel case versions of each of the 4 Lit albums
and  
        they will also be available at the gig, again with any remaining
on  
        sale through the website.
        
        As I mentioned before, John Stapleton will be throwing in sound

        effects and humorous one-liners off vinyl throughout the set (a

        regular occurrence back in the 80's) and Wojtek and Dave Chapman
are  
        traveling down from London so the small stage should be
chaotically  
        packed!
        
        The gig will be previewed with a feature in the Bristol Evening
Post  
        next Thursday and something is being set up with Radio Bristol  
        (details to come later)
        
        The tickets are selling quite fast already and it's expected to
pick  
        up after the promo stuff this week so it's probably a good idea
to get  
        them in advance if you can from here http:// 
        www.bristolticketshop.co.uk/ (click on Thunderbolt). Initially
we're  
        weren't expecting it to sell out in advance as it's a Sunday
night but  
        as the capacity is quite small it's better to be safe than
sorry!
        
        For any of you in the States who are planning to come to the
SXSW  
        shows, here's the full line up for the showcases (stage times
