-<(wip)>+Another fun night at Terrapin Crossroads! This was my first ever Hanukkah celebration, and I appreciated the attempt to add ceremony and ritual to the TXR community. The buffet was an appropriately festive affair, if a bit heavy on carbs and proteins to the exclusion of greens;I think the consensus favorite was the garlicky finger potatoes.
  
-Another fun night at Terrapin Crossroads!+It was especially nice to have time to stand around and mingle in a more relaxed setting than the usual show atmosphere. Made it seem more like a house party than a concert!
  
-{{tag>music Phil_Lesh Ross_James Alex_Koford Lebo Grahame_Lesh Terrapin_Crossroads    Dan_Lebowitz Steve_Adams Ross_James Scott_Law Ezra_Lipp Dave_Mulligan Terrapin_Crossroads_Bar}}+As the dinner cleanup began, the usual suspects made a rush for the rail, but there were sui few folks competing for those dots that it seemed to me that everyone got more out less what they wanted. I know I was happy with the space staked out by Ting and Paul... guitar town! Straight out from Ross and Lebo; yee haw! 
 + 
 +Somehow the setlist got switched between the time that Paul and I first got a peek and the time the show started -- must have been our penalty for looking! The theme seemed to be 'light', an appropriate choice given the holiday, and it made for a fun listening sequence. 
 + 
 +What with the relatively small crowd, the energy of the show took quite awhile to build up, but the second half, from _Let It Ride_ on out was darn good listening. Makes me even more glad that I came! 
 + 
 +Because the concert portion of the event started rather early and only ran about 90 minutes, it was still plenty early when they quit, so we headed over to the bar to enjoy another 90 minutes of music from tonight's side show entertainment, the Broken Terrapin Gamblers. The bar set was plenty of fun, with lots of fools taking advantage of the extra space up behind the band on Stage Left to twirl. Made for a happy scene! 
 + 
 +Scott's choice of the Dylan tune, _Winterlude_ was a seasonally appropriate surprise, and his covers from the JGB repertoire were powerfully good fun. Ross James' led the band on a supermassive interpretation of _the Music Never Stopped_ -, another inspired selection, though at this point I'm with Ting in asserting that his sing-sprach approach is getting a little overworked. How hard could it be to sign at least one or two tunes normally, eh? 
 + 
 +Anyways, just as our energy was staying to flag, Scott announced that we'd reached the penultimate tunes. So we stepped ourselves for Not more dancing and boogie on through to the end of the show. Happily, tonight's rain had blown away, so we had an easy drive back home--one more thing to be thankful for!
