Peter,

Hi. Thanks very much for the invite. I haven't been to the Middle East in quite a while. I pretty much used to live there and at TT's around the corner when I was a tad bit younger. I'm not sure I'm in town then, though. There is a big chance I won't but if I am, I will surely drop in. With such advance notice, if I am around, I'm sure I can rest up for a school night outing.

The Middle East is a fun little place if you haven't been there before.

My outings for the near future around here include The Eels and the National, neither of whom I've seen before. Hoping to see Bryan Ferry if he'll venture up here on his US leg in early October.

I'll have to look up this Mr. Turner. Always looking for good music.

I didn't realize there were so many DBIS folks in New England.

Thanks again.
