I’m once again in travel mode. Me and the fam are taking something like two weeks to roam across the Western US. Over the last two days I did upload a bunch of shows and I’m thinking I’ll slowly pace posting those out so that you guys will get a show or two a day. Or I might get bored and post them all at once. Either way I’ll most likely run out before I get home.

Once do get home I’ll have maybe two weeks before we take off to Europe for three months. All of which is to say my days of posting regular are coming to an end. But we’ve gone over that before.

Several of you have recently sent me shows and I want to give a great big thanks for that. I’m also going to put out a general request for more. When I’m in Europe I’m really not going to have the time to upload shows. I’m going to try to link to various bootleg sites with cool shows as often as I can but it would be tremendous if some of my readers could send me shows and allow me to post them. I love the idea of the Midnight Cafe becoming more of a community site than just me posting shows.

Anyways, as always, thanks for reading. Enjoy the Talking Heads.
