Hi Dan! I don't know if my wallet will permit me to see Bishop Allen this year. I hope you get to go and you have a blast. 

I have no idea why the board went belly-up. My gut feeling is that it they're independent artists and it probably wasn't a free board for them. Or it happened during their hiatus. I feel like boards fell out of fashion around Grrr. Short answer: no, I don't know.
