## Notes

Missing the start of the set wasn't really part of my plan, but given that I wasn't paying enough attention to the schedule, that's how things turned out. I was happy to catch most of _Wharf Rat_; probably should have asked other folks about what I might have missed. And who was playing keyboards. But I didn't. Doh! Happily, Ting could fill me in on that latter question.

Alex then brought up a pal, ?Greg Hughes?, to play guitar, but I took off after a few minutes in order to take our Moonalice posters out to the car, and to bring back more festival gear (clothes, etc). Once I was finished with that effort, it seemed close enough time to Stu's set that I figured I ought to stay put. In retrospect, I probably could have caught another song or two from Alex, but at that point I was enjoying a lazy day... rushing about just wasn't in the cards.
