Am I being really stupid here, or is HW playing at a Sci-Fi convention,
and all the talk about ticket prices, advertising etc not even remotely
a *private* gig? What is the principle here exactly? Are you looking to
stage an intimate session for list-memebers and affiliates or is it a
show that anyone can turn up to, buying a ticket on the door etc. as per
usual.

Could someone clarify the difference to me?
