Sorry Matt... Seeing as this is a FREE show, Rick was constrained by available time slots.... We'll be super famous after this show and will have no trouble booking the big halls on weekends. *-) Good luck on the house hunt! Best, -Miko >>> mattdavignon@hotmail.com 05/08/01 10:30AM >>> Aargh! You're such a tease! I really wanted to go to this, but I'm looking at apartments all week. (I'm getting a good kick in the pants for finding a new place, in that my apartment is about to be condemned.) I'd submit a request that you guys have these things on weekends, but I understand that the theatre is probably tied up on weekends all the time. Everybody who can, go to this! It will be worth your while!
