## Notes

Parked at West Oakland tonight to set up the easy train choice in the east bound trip later tonight. Caught the next West bound train and then got marooned at Montgomery due to police action shutting down 24th & Mission. Figured the easy choice was to head up to street level and then walk the extra blocks to the Warfield. Nice enough weather tonight: cool and dry.

Arrived near the theater to find the admit line wrapped around the block. WTF? Walked up the line a bit and eventually found friends to hang with while we waited for the doors to open. Perfect!

Doors tonight were a little late: something between 7:10-7:15. Plus whatever time it took to clear the queue in front of us. Seemed like the house was slightly more crowded than last night once we gained the floor, but we find me friends to hang with in the pit. Killing time now... 

Once the event started, I was happy to see Bobby dressed way more casually tonight - GQ Weir takes the night off? -- and showing some skin below his manpris and grey t-shirt. Might as well be comfortable while you work, right?

I'm gonna pass on writing anything in the way of review tonight: I'm glad I attended, even if Bobby managed to repeatedly crush my buzz, and I glad I moved up to the pit tonight instead of hanging on the 1st tier like last night.

Happily, there's a fine recording up on the [live music archive](https://archive.org/details/bw2022-10-16.flac24) if you wanna check it out yourself.
