I think I can live with missing the ROMZ record CREW to catch Quruli at the Parish, and judging from what I’ve heard, I’d rather catch Response than Limited Express (has gone?).

Bleach vs. FC Five? Depends on the walk, but seeing Bleach live — hoo babee! And I think I’ll be missing Gito Gito Hustler just so I don’t get shut out of seeing the rest of Japan Nite.

But look at all that wide open space on Wednesday and Thursday …

Harumph.
