Hey, that's a good idea. We could probably get him to add a category for
us, if we wanted to. It would definitely make my life easier. I had visions
of some poor looper only getting 4 people at his show because my usual 1
week+ lead time to upload stuff prevented 2 other people from knowing about
it....:-)

now we're talking! The less you have to rely on me, the better off you'll
all be.

We could even link it into the profiles pages. Then it could be easy to
find out about someone and see where they're playing next. Or in the case
of some of us, discover just how infrequently we ever get out...

Somebody go ahead and figure all this out, and I'll put it on the website.
