The Flips came roaring out of the box and kept up the pace all day, and should be waaaay out in front come the weekend. Queensryche didn't start selling until lunchtime, but they made up for lost ground rather quickly. The Scotch Greens have some sort of local connection that drove their sales, a couple of the members live here or something. Perhaps we would have had more sales on Pink and Morrissey, but they didn't arrive until halfway through the day. Hmm. Neither did Umphreys Mcgee, so perhaps that was not the reason....
