## Notes

Light traffic and easy parking: what's going on? Oh! Must be spring break this weekend: Cal campus is dead dead dead. Nice for a change!

Inside and seated around 7:50 PM. Forgot to bring my notebook, dang! Good thing MW announced almost everything tonight as the show unfolded!

After the show, the band came out into the lobby to greet the fans, take selfies, and generally bask in the adoration of the crowd. Cool!
