It was for tax purposes, IIRC.

Is it a peeve when one of your go to distros has a damn near giveaway sale when you already have your week's spend planned out? Ok Hammerheart, I can't resist, let's complete my Master and Isole collection.

Why do some cover bands have support bands?

This 80s metal covers band was in Fibbers on Saturday,  would like to have checked them out but 2 support bands to sit through before they came on about 11. The target demographic would want to be in bed by then!

There might be a good reason for it, but I always found it a bit off when a band turns their backs on the crowd after they've played a few songs already and then turn back when they start the song. It's not a surprise. We know it's them.

Maybe the are hoping that when they turn around there'll be a new crowd in?
