now this may sound a quite sad (geeky sad, not crying sad), here goes.

If you are considering coming to our next gig, or any gig in the future then:

1. Please do.
2. Feel free to come up and speak to us at that gig (even while we're onstage!)

If you DO feel like speaking to us, but don't know us personally yet, then I recommend:

1. You approach US, because you already have some idea of who we are and can identify us because we were the ones on the stage.
2. You start the conversation with the phrase "Hi, my name is (your name). You're on my myspace friends list."

Do not worry that you are intruding upon our personal space/conversations, as I am giving you permission right now to speak to us without need for any further invitation. You don't have to think of a witty opener, an interesting topic to discuss or a compliment to break the ice... just coming up and saying hello will be fine

Cheers,

Tom"
