[kj] devo info

[melinda grant]

i have only seen devo once,back in 1978(that was by accident....a load of us 
were at this theatra suppost to be viewing a black comady called---loot--as 
part of this art course/ in bristol--uk at a place called--   the colsten 
hall,the threate we were in was part of c.hall,there was an   
inside--ajoining door,we were board of watching loot,so 3 of us  snuck 
out,after 10 mins,slipping into the room where devo were playing,gig had 
started so no one saw us,the gig was very interesting i thought,all the more 
so as we were doing something we were not suppost to be doing ;-D)))  !!!

unfortunatly i proberly wont be in uk in june,the info was for those who 
will be ;-)


also saw stiff little fingers twice at same place----colston hall.. back in 
78/79 a mate took ten of us,her parents paid for the lot,it was for her 
daughters birthday gift ;-),who was a dear friend of mine,the same process 
happened the following year,this mate was addicted to s.l.fs music,it was 
kinda amusing as to look at her,she was the most conventional typical girl 
type,no one ever imagined that she would be into punk at all,a good example 
of--people can never judge a book by its cover ;-D
