That's a gorgeous picture and a lovely memory for your girls. They'll be able to tell that story someday to a whole university of envious friends, "Oh that's just when we were hanging out backstage with the Pogues, right" **blasé**

The obvious answer appears to be "bring cute children with you."

I don't know any cute children, certainly none that I'd take on a 10 hour drive with me.

Even the cutest children tend to cease to seem cute in the couurse of a 10-hour drive. Believe me.

Great pic and story, Clash.

Do you have a cute sister?

One more evening. Then I get to tackle the Ted Leo & The Pharmacists from last fall.

Your 19 Mar. pictures came out so well. You got a lot of good ones of Shane.

Is it my imagination or did Spider get a tat removed from his right arm? I swear there used to be one there. Is it just the lighting? Or maybe it's up higher and I am remembering wrong?

Sometimes the *click* *click* gods smile on you.

I pretend no knowledge of Spider and his tats other than what I've picked up at a couple of shows.

I know that a year or two ago he announced on the west coast tour that the Japanese kanji characters freshly tattooed into his right arm, just below the elbow, spelled out "Louise." And as far as I know that tat is still there. Beyond that I know nothing.

DZM, thanks for sharing the pics.

I see you got pics of the Slackers as well. How were they? I think they're fantastic.

They were/are fun, easygoing ska. Neyond that I'm not real familiar with them. I enjoyed their set though.

[theCOOP]

They'd be worth another trip to Boston to see.

Got another long awaited show this coming Thursday near home. Grady hailing from Austin Tx. frontman is former frontman of a Cdn band called Big Sugar. Haven't seen him in Halifax since september 2003 as Big Sugar. t's where I met my current GF...again.
