Fortunately, a good chunk of the night (maybe all of it?) is available from the official pro-shot video posted to YouTube, so worse comes to worse, I can watch and try to remember what I was thinking when it was live! ## Photos Big thanks to Ting for the photo gallery! {{gallery>:2018:2018-09?20180914-*.jpg}} {{:wip.png?nolink}} **Whoa!** This section is incomplete for now, sorry! {{:wip.png?nolink}} {{tag>music Patti_Smith Bob_Weir Flea Eric_Burdon Tenzin_Choegyal the_Masonic Imany Jesse_Paris_Smith Rebecca_Foon May_Boeve Nikolaj_Coster-Waldau Olafur_Eliasson Jamie_Margolin Arielle_Martinez-Cohen Elsa_Mengistu Bill_McKibben Pennie_Opal_Plant Steven_Sebring Suluit Nukâka_Coster-Waldau Peter_Kibsgaard Karina_Møller Kristoffer_Jul_Reenberg Hans-Henrik_Suersaq Tony_Shanahan Ramblin'_Jack_Elliott Alex_Koford Don_Was}} [[2018-09-13|Back to the previous event!]] ☸ [[:#section2018|Up to the 2018 yearbox!]] ☸ [[:2018#September_events|Up to the 2018 event list!]] ☸ [[2018-09-16|On to the next event!]]
