Hehe, that's true, I'm actually considering buying a scooter to save on petrol. Not sure how good I'd look on one but it would be cheaper.
The rock shack does sound like a better option given that. It's not Zeplins fault though, any club has dodgy people hanging out there and things like this can happen. There's not much that could be done about the theft, but the rape is easy to prevent if the bouncers and staff just do their jobs right.
As for the gig thing, when I form a band, become a manager for one or move into event co-ordination I'll consider it
