## Notes

I was very psyched to dance to Orchestra Gold today, but my knee wasn't entirely cooperative, so I had to really curb my enthusiasm in order to keep from falling over. This getting old shit is harder than I expected it would be! Young Randy would have been all in for another set, but today's old fart thought twice and decided that opting out after the early show was a smarter plan.

Because I was dancing, I did an exceptionally poor job at tonight's setlist ... just a bunch of time info really, and even that isn't all that reliable ('cuz when you're waving your arms in the air like you just don't care, it's hard to actuate the timestamp function you've programmed into your phone). Next time I'll try to do better!
