16:25 - Ivor

I wish I hadn't missed the Nijmegen gigs last year, though.

16:24 - Ivor

Everything's about nostalgia. I'll believe them being back if a new album drops.

16:10 - IronAngel

I didn't see their anniversary shows, but meh. If only I knew whether Anneke is back to touring with the band more frequently, of this is really the last chance. (They sort of moved to Nighttime Birds anniversary touring already.)

15:57 - Ivor

I was there too! I'd love a repeat but them doing festivals is a bit too much for me personally. Single gig I'd go. I take consolation that I saw their 25th anniversary show in '14.

15:12 - IronAngel

I'm torn: have work tomorrow, it's a 90+ min drive and 100 euros (+gas), and I'm only interested in one band, but: John Smith Rock Festival has The Gathering tomorrow night. I saw them at their last gig with Anneke in 2007. :E

14:24 - Chidder

@no one: My brother once spent like an hour or hour and a half pulling a teeth - it turned out he had tiny hooks at the end of the root. The young dentist was all sweaty and pale at the end.

12:35 - ChapuLviz
