Arrived just before 7 PM to snag a parking spot on Yacht Club, then spend about ten minutes in line waiting for the house to open. Not too many folks out here early tonight – maybe the regulars are over at Sweetwater for Mark Karan or off in NYC for the Family Band? In any case, Ting and I are psyched to claim a prime spot on the rail at center house. It seems odd to see Phil's rig missing from stage, and the keyboard rig has been swapped over to stage left. We're sooned joined by a subset of the usual kooks, with plenty of friends taking up the rest of the prime real estate in the front of the house.

Altogether it's a fun time tonight, dancing to mostly familiar old tunes, some radically revised, swapping smiles and high fives with the assembled family.
