This was the one where I now have the t-shirt that Justin was wearing that day. He threw it into the crowd, someone took it home 1, then took it to another gig 2, got it signed, and then gave it to me. I think in exchange for the first Darkness single I had given him.
- Was it me? Was it Ralph?
- Ah http://www.clarkeology.com/2003/09/13/stalking-the-darkness/ says it was a DJ thing at the Barfly

Yeah I know it's a bit geeky, let's let that go though, I'm having fun remembering these things.
