Erm - I think you might have left the gigs thing a bit late Saltywalt - even if anywhere had a vacant spot for you, there would hardly be time to promote anything.

As for the beds thing...I'm not in the right area and, sorry if this sounds abrupt but, a 'please' might not have gone amiss, somewhere in your posting. You're asking people who have probably never met youto put you up.
