Nino here ... so, Nuje (aka Mike), our fearless drummer and resident chaffeur, was in a minor car accident last night. The van is totaled, the gear in the van is scuffed but ok, and Nuje himself has a bruised leg and a minor cut on his arm. Nuje is very much NOT at fault for the accident; the 19 yr. old slightly intoxicated guy who went straight when he should have turned is at fault, and is - as we understand it - in "really big trouble with his dad", among others. Nuje is banged up but OK, and will be here with full force at Last Concert tonight.

(Addition from Ian: on an even more serious note, our good friend and fan Diane Holman, who many of you have seen at Brasil on more than one occasion, lost her older brother in a car accident yesterday. Please keep her and her family in your thoughts this weekend.)
