Janine	Feb 20 2008 3:04 PM well... i already sort of started the ball rolling (i hope) in november. i was talking to a programmer for patronaat (haarlem's music venue), and he told me he's very interested in canadian bands and singer/songwriters. so i forwarded your name, together with a bunch of others. actually, all my canadian music friends haha. he replied that he'd heard some interesting stuff. he wouldn't give me any names, though. sorry i didn't mention this to you earlier, but i thought it would be better to wait until he'd made up his mind. i think the time has come to introduce his ears to livingroom and give him a copy. if that's okay with you of course...
Janine	Feb 20 2008 2:13 PM hey perry and gordon. you are so very welcome. thank you for livingroom, it's such a great album. good to hear all is going well with the new disc, can't wait to hear it! when's your show in haarlem? haha
