Actually, I was thinking about scheduling this FOUR times now, once each
Friday and once each Saturday. There's no crime in giving yourself over
to pleasure. {There is in Utah!} :)

Of course I like Symmetry. Good machine. I have an S-81 for sale if
anybody needs a Real Computer<tm>. :) :) :)
But seriously ...

Has to be "something similar" for this to work. V has one show nightly,
an early show, since several of the performers also appear in various
other later shows.
