Bookshop Finds Out They Are Rage Against The Machine Tour Date

Text - Text - LRB Bookshop LRB A @LRBbookshop presumably they won't need chairs which makes the set-up a bit easier. plan at the moment is to strip the new fiction tables and put the books in the lift. as long as the 'mosh pit' is kept relatively confined to the centre of the shop i think we should be ok 2:29 AM - Feb 11, 2020 - TweetDeck 59 Retweets 2.3K Likes
