so rage against the machine just announced their european tour dates and we were shocked to discover that apparently they are playing at the bookshop on august 14th. first we've heard of it. having an emergency staff meeting now about how we can make this work

presumably they won't need chairs which makes the set-up a bit easier. plan at the moment is to strip the new fiction tables and put the books in the lift. as long as the 'mosh pit' is kept relatively confined to the centre of the shop i think we should be ok

the problem is where are the band going to go. david reckons that if we just take off the till computers etc. they can stand on the till counter. "how many of them are there?" "four of them" "there's room for four as long as they don't jump around a lot"

david i'm sorry to say that they do jump around a lot

this is something else we hadn't considered

just had that tom morello on the blower asking if we could make sure to give it "a big push" on social media

we will also tell them to turn off their mobiles. nobody wants an evening spoiled by a "cellular phone, sounding a death tone"
