I’m finally moving the site to a new Web host this weekend. In hopes of making the migration as easy as possible, I’m turning off commenting for a few days. We’re not sure yet whether we’re doing a show this weekend. If so, it may show up late as a result of the move. Be patient. We’ll be back soon.

Update: I think I’ve got everything moved and working. If you notice anything on the site not functioning correctly, please e-mail me with info. We’ll have a new show this weekend.
