In my wide-eyed, drooling keenness to see the magnificence that is L!O!O!P!E!R! at Rough Trade (which most Lahndoners will know is extremely wee), I gave them a call (apologies if anyone else has already done this and posted about it, but I'm a digestive these days) and they said that it was actually March 9th (a week before my birthday :)) when the band were going to play. The woman I spoke to also said that March 9th was a Monday, which it ain't, but the implication was that it would take place on the day of the album's release. So I'm a bit confused really - if anyone else (Gerard, if you're back on the list, give us a call) knows anything more concrete, please post it or write to me privately as I'd *love* to swoon at the feet of Stuart David as soon as possible...bet it's during work hours, though :( She did also add that it would have to be a ticket-only do (no charge, but tickets to prevent a riot breaking out on the streets of W11, I suppose) - the Rough Trade shop phone number is 0171 229 8541, and she suggested I call back in a week. My favourite Looper song is "Elvis". My favourite Huey Lewis and the News song is their cover of Queen's "Get Down Make Love". I'll get me coat.
