=====  Notes =====
What a terrific introduction to the new hall!

While the dust hasn't yet settled (as parts of the building remain unfinished), the main room is ready to go, and what a room it is! Given the extra high ticket price for the opening week gigs, I opted to buy tix in the lowest price offered, sitting up in the balcony in the next to last row. While my seat might have been a bit further from stage than my regular preference, I was more than pleased with the sound -- this room sounds great!!
