===== Notes =====
Jon Hart's [[http://archive.org/details/StuAllenAndMarsHotel2013-01-30.flac16|recording]] of the gig is posted on the live music archive.

Good turnout tonight, not too crowded, but full, and with a good birthday celebration vibe.

I especially liked the acoustic set, though the last half of the electric set was also mighty fine!
