yes, but would you like to know about it this soon?
i found out about missing a moore/winant/o'rourke gig several years after it happened. it didn't hurt that much anymore, but if i would have found out the week after it i know i would have been angry... but i had the same thoughts as you, it felt strange that thurston would just be in london for a 10 minute radio interview/session and nothing else.
anyway, we can always hope for something like this at atp in december.
