PVC twice monthly

Hello! For all sorts of reasons too boring to go into it's getting harder and harder to get together enough to do a weekly show. We're sure you've noticed it's become a bit hit and miss with scheduling as result. To try and make sure you get something a bit more regularly we're gonna do two shows a month on the 2nd and 4th Friday. That should be much more doable and you'll know when to expect something. Cheers.
