My understanding was that because it took Bedouin so long to get back
to RockSoc that the early March slots _might_ be gone, and we'd have
to try to lever them in on anther date. But this was as of several
days ago, so it might well be deprecated info by now!

Yup.

Believe me, the Society's spacerock fan contingent (not an
inconsiderable faction) is doing all it can in any case. Besides,
many in the Society have seen Bedouin in Cambridge before, and know
that they kick arse.


Cheers,
