    • have atp ever put a gig on

      without les savy fav?

      i wish they'd be more exciting with their line ups.

      plus if it's anything like last year everyone's going to miss lightning bolt (who're the best thing there by a mile) because they'll be queuing outside...

      hopefully lighting bolt'll tour alone though...

      • If they want to

        i'll be happy to do it.

        This gig will rule, sure Les Savy Fav have played a few ATP shows, but this is Halloween! and Les Savy Fav!

      The new bands don't help with the 'dressing up' options though do they?!?!

      Hmm...maybe stick lots of cotton wool on and pretend to be a cloud.

      Umm...that's for Lightning Bolt by the way.

    • I think I shall be going for sure.

    • How would Lightning Bolt work in a venue like the forum?

      Would they stay on the stage? that's way not as fun.

      • woo hoo!

        costume will require some thought...

        • This line-up actually does

          justify the extortionate ticket price (well, almost).

      • They're playing on the floor

        Only 500 people will be allowed downstairs for it - first come, first served - the rest on the balcony, then everyone's allowed downstairs once they've finished their set.
