Hey Anna I live in Brunswick and I didn't even know it was on so thanks for the ad! I'm supposed to be going to the small social justice/environmental action group I belong to that night - with complete irony we call ourselves "Save_the world" - but if listening to Patrick Dodson is not within our brief then I don't know what is.
