## Notes

As seems to be the case with any variety show, it was *extremely* difficult keeping track of all the coming and going and who-was-doing-what-when. I tried to be pretty detailed with my notes, but I'm certain that I missed somethings or made transcription errors (autocorrect? more like _autoconfuse_ or _autowreck_!). Jon Hart assured me the he was on top of things, I'm sure I'll be able to fix it all up better once I get a chance to compare against his notes. Until then, this is what ya' get!
