The Global Underground has some bad news…

I know you were ALL excited for tomorrow’s African show, I certainly was, but due to exams I’ve had to cancel the Global Underground for this week…
(shouts of outrage and profanities ensue along with tears and a total loss of hope in the world…)
But please, DO NOT LOOSE HOPE!
This is only a temporary set back and I plan to air this show NEXT THURSDAY APRIL 15! This way I’ll truly be able to do the great continent of Africa justice. It will also be my last show for the season, so you won’t want to miss out. (I’ll remind you next week, no worries)
Thanks for being so understanding… I love you guys.
Sincerely yours,
The Global Underground
