## Notes

I was disappointed that Ancient Future's set this afternoon was so short -- I was expecting a full hour -- but I'm happy with what I heard. Would have been smarter to have worn shorts today: even though the air temperature was low 70's, it felt like a million on the grass under the broiling sun, and I moved into the shade of the stage canopy as soon as there was enough cover to hide under: much better, even if the sound was a little weird there.
