As commented by both Rez and Josh, this was the very first public performance of Naya Baaz. Came off pretty well, if you ask me, and while the Henderson Lab wasn't full, there were plenty of people there for a Sunday night.

Under most circumstances I would have been psyched to stay for the late show, but with the lunar eclipse impending shortly, we opted to scoot back home in order to see it. Mistake? Maybe! But Rez had commented that the late show was going to contain repeats, so we didn't feel so bad about leaving.

Big thanks to Ting for the photo gallery!

Whoa! This section is incomplete for now, sorry!
