  I don't know if it says more about Beirut or Iraq, but Chris Allbritton just took a vacation from his journo work in Baghdad and thoroughly enjoyed a relaxing urlLink vacation in Beirut .&nbsp; I seem to remember Beirut as a non-friendly destination for yanks.&nbsp; How times change. In other travel news, my urlLink bandmates have taken off for Tokyo this morning for a bunch of performances.&nbsp; They have a stand-in bass player for me as I have neither the time or the money for the trip.&nbsp; Grrrrr.
