SidFudd: "Pink Hotel" is definitely on our list, but it's complicated, because Ossman's preparing a book of all the Firesign live show scripts 1976-1981, and we should reissue lots of their live shows from that period, which would affect the running order of "Pink Hotel"
Lil: Cat, Pin
Lil: Beet, nice ta see y'all
