 ## Notes
-<(wip)>
+I wasn't really sure what to expect from tonight's performance, but overall, I'm satisfied, and happy with what I saw, heard and learned. Inasmuch as this event could be thought of as a lecture on the history of wordless storytelling, it was quite successful -- it was interesting to see so many examples of comix from the days before my time with Mad Magazine. I was a little surprised to learn how many of the artists were staunchly leftist -- it's curious to consider whether that was simply chance, or a subtle correlation between the artistic brain and socialist politics. Not every coincidence is just chance!
+I probably could have done a better job trying to keep track of the sections of the event, but the demarcation between the parts was kinda blurry, and once I'd realized that I missed the first few, I just gave up. Gotta just  go with the flow sometime.
+Musically, the event wasn't quite so outstanding, as it seemed to me that the purpose of the live band was simply to provide aural wallpaper to support the visuals that were the primary focus of the event. It's interesting to consider whether or not this accompaniment was necessary (such as the requirement to add a musical bed beneath a silent film). I'm glad that the group was present, and feel that the expectation that I would hear improvised accompaniment was one of the reasons that I signed on for the event. Which automatically suggests that a canned audio track would have been less satisfactory.
+Finally, the visuals deserve comment for being quite impressive. Just as there is pleasure to be found in careful study of a densely constructed page of comix, it would be nice to be able to study tonight's visuals in a printed large-format book -- and perhaps one was being sold in the lobby, but possessing an anti-consumerist bent, I tend to ignore most of the marketing crap that surrounds us like pollen on a spring day.
+After the show it was fun to go drink boba with Scott and Joanne -- post-show socializing is *always* a good idea!
