Answers on a postcard. Maybe he's testing the water? I'm hoping the results are good. I considered Wireless but as I'm currently out of employment I'll have to skip it. Perhaps he will arrange some extra UK dates. Some friends might try to encourage me to go to the Electric Picnic festival outside Dublin again this year. He'd fit in well there. How would I go around dropping such a hint to the man or his representation? - -- Peter ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2006 15:23:37 -0600 From: "Kara R.
