Re: RAT Lipstick Traces in NYC from Rude Mechs

["Sheila Callaghan" <sheila_callaghan@hotmail.com>]

Saw this opening night... I highly recommend it.  David is so freakin' ON, 
as is Lana and the rest of the cast.  It's got a great energy and makes your 
head whirl.  Plus it's totally funny.

congrats...
