     We try to stick to the schedule. Remember that schedule slip is sometimes unavoidable. Maybe we need a new clutch. If a guy's on a roll, one wouldn't want to interrupt.

      Once in a while we shuffle things around, for whatever reason.

      If you're desperate to see a particular thing at a particular time please mention it and we'll try to accommodate you. If we get enough of this sort of request, we'll institute a system of graft and corruption in order to accomodate the well-healed among you.

_______________________________________________

     The schedule above may be reformatted or line-justified but please transmit it verbatim and in its entirety or not at all. A link to this page is preferred.

     No Newsgroup posts or other media distribution please! Contact me and we'll discuss it BEFORE you proceed.
