LatAm film update

From @finalsound: "Awesome show tonite - just spoke with Tim Pope at aftershow - re the LatAm film, he is "waiting for our lord and master!" in other words, don't hold your breath!"

Tim Pope reassures us all: "Look, to the thousands... well, the many... who asked me personally last night: it will happen and it will be great. OK?!"

Remember the reason for these 2 shows
