This is a couple of weeks late (well, three weeks), but I just discovered Janis Ian's announcement that she was canceling her part in the Flower Power Peace Concert. And it is depressing:

Looks like I will be in Jeonju this weekend, for the Jeonju International Film Festival. While I am there, I thought it might be nice to check out a live show or two... unfortunately, I know nothing about the Jeonju club scene.

If you go to the "Maps" part of the Korea Gig Guide, you'll see that I have swapped the old map for a slightly different one. I am still not happy with the new map, though. Indeed, I am not happy with any of the maps of Hongdae I have ...
