        BOC is in space.  People _respond_ to contact, and respond with their
wallets.  tBS is good on outreach and I bet they get a decent return on their
stamps ;)  It would take so little, one would think, to get BOC's collective
head out of its arse ...
        If they actually were on the ball enough to book their gigs ahead
of time, then they could send out a postcard with the whole list of
dates to the their whole fan club/mailing list.  But no ...  What are these
guys doing with their time?  Sitting around playing Nintendo?  (Probably!)
They sure aren't recording a new album or writing new tunes ...

Cheers,
Carl
