Did you know that when you were in New York Sergio (No.8) lived 1 floor above you? HE had a really nice show up in chelsea right now.
I like your list, although I may have shifted the order a little bit.

Shit. That's weird about s.prego being upstairs that whole time! I totally loved his video - saw it over and over and over. the order is sort of chronological, based on when I saw stuff, not an order of preference.
