Will, Hey from Oxford! So happy to see you guys are coming here in March  Were there any really funny/bad/horrendous band names that were being put about before you put forward Straylight Run after Neuromancer? And how would you react if William Gibson came to a gig after finding out what Straylight do? |

hello hello! we're very excited to be returning as well.
question 2 - so long as he's not mad, i'd be thrilled if william gibson came out to a show, he seems like an absurdly smart guy so i'd hope to get a chance to talk for a bit just to see how he thinks. a friend of mine went to a book signing, of gibson's, here in nyc a few months ago (i was unfortunately on tour) and was tempted to bring a copy of our record to have it signed by william gibson. he chickened out though.
question 1 - hmm some of the ones that fortunately got away were "the hot young guns" and "staggering genius". its been a while, so i can't remember any more... oh i think "life and death on long island" or this island or something to that effect was one of them.

Straylight Run has gotta be the best name you could have come up with. P.S. I want to meet you all in March. I only spoke to John last time  |

Ah, Eggers...... I think it's safe to say he's one of the reasons I started writing.
