Hey All

I'll check with Dave. It's quite possible as he's usually up for playing 
these kind of more experimantal events. As for Victo. It's Canada's best 
secret really. Every year I can drive a mere 1 hour to a little town in 
Eastern Quebec and watch the locals get really confused as Diamanda 
Galas, John Zorn, Tortoise, Keiji Heino, and loads of other wicked 
experimental groups invade the peaceful town of Victoriaville. It's also 
quite good for the fact that the town  is so small that your bound to run 
into/have a chance to meet pretty much anyone on the bill. It's a good 
time. Keep in mind our dollar is really shit right now, so Americans can 
get that whole bonus 1.5 exchange rate...once you get here it's cheap as 
hell.

I don't work for Victo, I just happen to think it's a worthwile thing to 
support.
