| - | A little under an hour later, I've disembarked at Addison. The usual street circus is happening, but I swim through it to the field entry gate: no line now: I lucked out and hit that perfect lull between the hard core railers and the schooling masses. Wait ten seconds to get my wrist band, then it's time to find a water station ... That turns out to be a barely functional fountain, and I struggle to fill my collapsible bags without squeezing out what I've managed to get in. More than ²/³ full seems like an achievement, | + | A little under an hour later, I've disembarked at Addison.

| - | The hour passes quickly. The crowd grows, but things don't get much more crowded in the pit: people are being sensible and finding spots further out. Every now and then we get a brief shower: enough to get food putting on and taking off rainwear, but thankfully, not really enough to get us very wet. | + | The hour passes quickly.

| I was happy to hear the familiar plunk of _Fire on the Mountain_ as the band finished _Days Between_: Oteil singing? I'm happy to hear him do a song or two every night. With _Scarlet Begonias_ as the show opener, I expected that _Fire on the Mountain_ would be the end of the set, with a tag of the _Scarlet Begonias_ reprise to close things out, but that trope was stomped on by another one. What night is it? Well of course, it's _One More Saturday Night_! Woo, time to rock on out a little! | I was happy to hear the familiar plunk of _Fire on the Mountain_ as the band finished _Days Between_: Oteil singing?

| - | Getting _Touch of Grey_ as a double-encore treat was icing on the cake, and a fun way to end the show on a more upbeat note than the bittersweet vibe of _Brokedown Palace_. Knowing that _Touch_ *had* to be the last song of the night, I decided to stay until the kerosene verse, figuring that would give me just enough time to make it from the pit to the field edge before the show ended. Turned out my guess was pretty good, and I had enough time to hand out a few last NTTH stickers to the folks dancing on the outside edge of the crowd before the show ended. Also saw something kinda funny: a worker | + | Getting _Touch of Grey_ as a double-encore treat was icing on the cake, and a fun way to end the show on a more upbeat note than the bittersweet vibe of _Brokedown Palace_.

| As the band bowed and posed for post-show photos onstage, I transitioned from the field to the concourse, and lucked out to be there right when previously locked exit gates were rolled open. Instead of a crowded push through the common space under the bleachers, I had an empty roadway to speed-walk up Sheffield Ave back to Addison for the 50 yards back to the CTA station. Perfect! Into the station, up the stairs, down the platform a few steps and bingo! I step into a waiting train and take an open seat near the door. So far, so good! | As the band bowed and posed for post-show photos onstage, I transitioned from the field to the concourse, and lucked out to be there right when previously locked exit gates were rolled open.

| Super duper glad to have gotten a seat on the subway after standing and dancing the past few hours. And double plus bonus points for getting one right on top of the A/C vent. Cold air on my legs felt really good. It might be normal for summer in Chicago, but it seemed weird to me how hot it was at 11 PM: 76 F and kind of sticky. One more reason to make my home in cool grey Oakland! | Super duper glad to have gotten a seat on the subway after standing and dancing the past few hours.
