I thought you were coming out on the 7th or 8th of August. Los Campesinos is playing Mercury Lounge on the 9th and 10th, though I won't be around on the 10th. So I'm planning to go on the 9th and will buy tickets for you and yours if you will in fact be in town.

Excellent. I will buy tickets when we're back in town.
