## Notes

Got fooled by traffic and so ended up arriving extra early -- nearly an hour to spare. Oh well, at least this puts us near the head of the line, and from this spot, it's easy to hear and watch the Early Show as it progresses. Seemed alright! That ends about 8:15 or so and the house is quickly turned over. Our placement in line is good, but the leaders circle folks have reserved a big chunk of seats in the front tonight, so fourth row is the best we can get; oh well, to the richer go the spoils.

We settle in, joined after a few minutes by TC, and enjoy an amazing set over the next hour. Makes me really happy to have caught the show, even with premium pricing for a short set. Hopefully they'll be back again soon!
