## Notes

Forgot my glasses (again), so I didn't try to take very careful notes -- too easy to waste time trying to see what I'm doing. Happily, we arrived at the venue properly early, so with a spot in front of Greg on the rail, it was easy enough to copy the hand-written setlist. No deviations tonight!

Seemed like both Tim and Greg picked sweat-lodge costumes tonight. I'm glad I opted for a skeleton bodysuit -- not so great in some ways (no pockets!), but at least I stayed cool!

Looks like you can watch [video](https://www.facebook.com/SweetH20MusicHall/videos/304090083651605/) of the show, thanks to the Hips archive!
