   So now it's a little over a year later and the Barfko Swill site still   
   lists Road Tapes Venue 2 as "Currently Not Available".   
      
   There's currently one copy for sale on Amazon from a place in Austria   
   that would be $42.68 with shipping, which seems a little steep but   
   might be worth it's the only way I can get the album.   
      
   Anyone know what the deal is with Road Tapes Venue 2, why it's so hard   
   to find and where I might be able to obtain an reasonably priced copy?
