## Notes

Jon Langford and his latest crew of musical mischief makers got things off to a fine start under the sparkly sun this morning. We suffered a bit from the usual boorish crowd issues -- folks out for a good time instead of listening to the music -- but nothing too bad. I was kinda counting on Jon's obscurity to help out in this respect, and hopefully it did!
