That was in an Ideal For Living? Don't remember that at all; guess I'll have to dig my copy up for a look through then.

As for a personal connection to NO, my own is rather limited: my best friend who had a record store worked closely with the promoters who brought them to Portland for their sole Oregon performance to date in 89. Monqui, thanks for all of the great shows that you've put on up here in the great NW. :beer:
