We took our bags to Dave’s place after soundcheck, and were happy to see a couple of beds made up for us, all with bright, white linen, and blankets. Accommodations acceptable. I apologize if that sounds shitty, but you never know what you’ll get with punk rocker types. We were actually staying in the flat below Dave’s because he and his wife have a young son, and it would not have been a lot tighter fit up there. 

We sat around talking over beers for a bit. Dave is actually a proud owner of Forty-Seven, Horace Pinker’s first 7-inch. I believe Scott said it was a first pressing, as well. Dave is a big fan, and has been waiting years for the Pinker to return to NZ. He was stoked to be playing with us, and being able to hang out all night. We signed the record sleeve for Dave as well, even though neither Bryan nor myself played on it.
