Well, we must apologize again, but we'll have to cancel tonight's show for totally legitimate reason that someone ain't feeling well at all and it would make for a very unhappy experience.

We're sorry to cancel, y'all, but we'll reschedule this and let y'all know when we're able to make it happen!

We're going to soldier on. Internet should be more stable (we hope).

That means rescheduling some missed shows. Since we have a regular schedule, we're probably moving last week's Torture Cinema to a special day.

Deets coming as soon as we know what they are. Wee.
