Really strong effort tonight from all involved. Lots of love in the house!

The ending to Iko Iko was a little abrupt – kind of like parking the car by smashing into the curb. Molo said something about it being his fault afterwards, but the wreck sounded more like a group effort to me.

Mookie worked in a long bit teasing 3rd Stone from the Sun during his solo on Long Gone Sam.

Whoa! This section is incomplete for now, sorry!

Big thanks to Ting for the photo gallery!
