Stifling inside Dinkelspiel – typical for a summer show. Hard to understand how they can't seem to do a better job pushing the hot air out. Maybe it would help to install a foam roof? As best as I can tell, the huge air conditioners onstage do absolutely nothing for the audience (though they might help the band a bit), and leaving the fans off at the side doors certainly doesn't do anything to help.

Anyways, the show was fun, despite the listening conditions. Makes me think I should have rallied and gone to hear last night's gig in Oakland too!
