	10:17pm coelacanth: (...and Claw! calls you "drooolio"!) - maybe i should just ask you? -i always thought it was "al-e-han-dro".

	10:23pm Alejandroool: that's correct, cc - tho don't mind much what ppl wanna call me.
	10:24pm herb.nyc: Can we get naming rights to the ticket giveaway, Evan, during Marathon?
	10:26pm coelacanth: Maria Muldaur has that covered.
	10:29pm efd: the ticket giveaway naming rights are available as far as I know (but it ain't cheap!) - should be in here somewhere: www.flickr.com...
	10:30pm Julie: Cait is a friend of a friend, I'm glad she's getting lots of attention here!

	11:36pm ice in bklyn: I don't have a story for the godfathers, but that's a good song
	11:37pm Alejandroool: This is the kind of distortion that reminds me of first playing guitar in my parent's (and other parent's) basements
	11:44pm Alejandroool: Sloan's got one US date fwiw: 04/08 St. Paul, MN - Turf Club
	11:46pm efd: oh yeah! That blended right in with the Canadian dates in the list I was looking at.

Wed. Nov 6th, Noon - 3pm: The Metal District III: Kicked Out Of The Hellraiser! (More info...)
EFD’s hair-metal-loving cousin Evan “Snake” Davies was dying to return to the airwaves in October after a four-year absence. However, this request was vetoed over concerns that his appearance might have had a deleterious effect on our Hellraiser efforts. He’s back today, though, spinning his favorite ‘80s (mostly) hard rock and hair metal just for you. Don’t (or maybe do) miss it!
