A long time is spent on 00s shock-rockers. And some attention is given to the correct way to handle grievances with total strangers. And some time is devoted to Dave Navarro's vest and why the Live reunion didn't happen. But mostly we talk hardcore.

Tom on a solo mission while Pat and Bob are on assignment in Europe. Tom is joined by Bob Wilson (FYA, Philly SXE, a lot of bands) and Greg Falchetto (Manalapan SXE, lots of bands, NJHC shows) to discuss all things booking. Played some "Keep One, Lose One", how to start out booking shows and, most crucially, the importance of bringing cash to shows. This was a lot of fun, thank you to Bob and Greg for taking part.
