Whoa! This section is incomplete for now, sorry!

Very mellow scene. Full, but lot's of space in the pit tonight – more than I can ever recall, actually. Hardly anyone crashing through, all night long. Relatively well-behaved crowd. Not too many idiots! Solid show. Lot's of up-and-down pacing in the tunes. Many seemed to have new arrangements over what I remembered from the albums. Ryan didn't say a word until an hour or so into the show, and then his comment was something like, “I'm not talking tonight because everything is perfect and I don't want to f#@k it up.”
