-Monday workday works out OK: got plenty done, yay! Rustle up dinner a little earlier than usual: chicken fajitas, yum! Get dressed, then roll on down to Rockridge BART, wait a few minutes, and then we're on the train downtown. Construction projects have turned 19th Street station into a crazy maze of passages, but we make it out without getting lost (good thing, eh?). Telegraph is strangely deserted: ain't nothing happened around here right now. Probably more exciting on Friday night than Monday! We walk around the side of the Fox and take our place at the head of the vax check: no more room in the early bird queue on the post-check side. No matter. We wait! Five or ten minutes later the doors open and we're allowed to join the queue. Entrance is a breeze, though Ting's tiny waistpack is deemed extra suspicious, and the searcher spend way more time looking into it's teensy pockets than she does looking at my giant clear bag of clothes and gear. Works for me! We pass through the lobby and speedwalk for the drinkrail, ending up with a spot just a little off center to the right. Good enough!+Monday workday works out OK: got plenty done, yay!

-It takes a really long time for most of the crowd to show up tonight: when the lights go down for the opening band at 7:30 PM, I'd guess the place is only half full at best. Happily, the folks around us aren't too talkative, and even though I'm not all that interested in Faye Webster, I appreciate being able to hear her performance without distraction. "Wispy shoegaze 20-something pop" is my one line assessment. "Not my cuppa Joe" is the second. They wrap things up just after 8 PM and then it's set break: time to chit chat or make a beer run!+It takes a really long time for most of the crowd to show up tonight: when the lights go down for the opening band at 7:30 PM, I'd guess the place is only half full at best.

-I'm antsy and ready to go by quarter past 8, but Wilco sticks to another schedule than mine, so it's another quarter hour until lights go down. By this time the house is properly filled up. Not packed tight, and certainly less full than Billy Strings a few weeks ago, but darn good turnout for a Monday night.+I'm antsy and ready to go by quarter past 8, but Wilco sticks to another schedule than mine, so it's another quarter hour until lights go down.

-They're off like a shot, and the crowd is delirious: it's a blessing to be dancing to such joyful noise in the company of like-minded spirits. At first I'm surprised that the crowd is so well-behaved: most are intently focused on the music, and no one tries to crash our rail spot at any time all night. Must be a Monday night crowd thing: these are the hard core fans instead of the yahoos looking for a Friday/Saturday night party. Makes me wish more bands tried playing off nights!+The band hits it off with a bang and a shot, and the crowd is delirious: it's a blessing to be dancing to such joyful noise in the company of like-minded spirits.

 Riding BART on the way home a friend is gushing about the show: shorter than last night, but several rarities in the setlist, and not too many repeats. Sounds like a good analysis to me! Riding BART on the way home a friend is gushing about the show: shorter than last night, but several rarities in the setlist, and not too many repeats.
