i'd b on for going up tonight.
i've learned to grab the opportunity
when its there because you just
cant guarentee it being clear a day or two
out.
id have the wee man in bed by 8 and set to go by 9.
be up there for 9:40
and get 2 hours at it.

hmm, what about we do a quick 2 hours tonight at Roys for 9pm and the big night tomorrow night ?
no way can i do 2 big nights in a row with work in the middle of it. even Doing tonight is really awkward to be honest.
