There's a television writer's strike going on, you know. That means you're watching less television, and consequently your capacity for looking at other, non-television things has increased. I don't wanna tell you what to do with that increased capacity, but if I were me (and I am!), I'd check out the Scott Musgrove, Ryan Heshka and Brian Despain show that's now hanging at Roq la Rue.
