    Ok, so maybe I'm way too not-blase, or maybe I'm the only American reader on the board (? !) but I, for one, was happy to read that Marky will be making a trip over and doing at least some east coast shows. West coast would be even better, but the gigs which have been announced are a start. I know this is probably old hat for those Czech or Irish fans who have seen him lately several times, but we don't get Marky in person often enough (my humble opinion). Posted them under the topic below, but no joyous shouts yet, so maybe everyone's fast asleep, soooo again:

    A Portland, OR, gig would be wonderful, too. Honest, Marky, you don't have to go back to Bend. Portland will love you.

    The Myspace lists a Portland, OR, show, but it's not listed on the tour dates here. Is Marky going to be in Portland on Oct 2? I'm very excited about that possibility!
