so, it struck me last night that, as the line ups for the barfly gigs will never be announced as far in advance as the january bonanza was, that it'll be increasingly hard for forward planning and co-ordinating the message boarders from far and wide to all come to the same one.
so, i propose to you that we pick one or two dates out of the following list which will hopefully be as messy and as fun as the last one (if that's at all possible).

the last friday of each month is:

31st march
28th april (the day after my birthday)
26th may
30th june
28th july
25th august (reading weekend)
29th september
27th october
24th november
and
29th december.

of course, making cast-iron arrangements on the spot would be a little foolish but which of those dates would be good for most people bearing in mind reading/exams/other important stuff?
i propose april and june for sure. easter holidays and end of exams MADNESS.
