## Notes

Tonight's show was pretty damn good! Sometimes I have a hard time getting my head into the right space to listen properly to Wayne's music -- it takes more attention than most other performances -- but that wasn't a problem tonight. Maybe because I was trying so hard to block out the wheezing and grunting of the dude sitting on my right by focusing more than usual on the music and the performers? I dunno. In any case, I'm really glad I went!
