I think it's like next week or something.  It's given on www.brainticket.com
along with its new title (which I can't remember now).

If you go to www.falcata-galia.com, somewhere (try 'artists' and then
'Farflung') there is a list of those who appear on the album. I think Tommy
and Brandon are the only two that I recognized, so he's obviously gotten
some new folx in there.
Funny was that Len wasn't mentioned, but that's got to be an accidental
omission, even though he wasn't in the original Farflung I don't think.  But
now that P-Hed is dead (that's right innit?), and he's always been a major
part of F-Flung live over the past several years (in Ohio at least), I'd
have to think he appears on When Science Fails. Chuck?

Is this thing available anywhere yet?  I keep checking John Perez'
Brainticket site, but it's still not listed in the catalog.
