## Notes

Meh! Five songs in and I'm done: CAKE is not interesting enough to hang out any longer in the damp and drizzle. We pack up our gear and head out, the music slowly fading away as we get farther and farther from the stage. Back at the car to pack in the gear, then on the road just before 7 PM -- good timing for making our way out before the rest of the crowd begins snarling up Mill Valley traffic!

## Photos
