I feel your pain, brother. I've been there. Nels and our very own LD'er 
Stig  
are local boys and I've been itching to catch them both for a year and a 
half, but always missed these interesting shows due to schedules - often 
my 
own gigs, too.  Like I said - only by accident did I manage to catch this 
one!

Could be - I think they went on about 11:50 and I heard they were 
scheduled 
for 10:00.  This is also why I was able to not miss it.

What also sucks is they will probably miss all three of your shows, too.
