2002

Prior to 2003, my show-tracking system consisted of ticket-stubs, random notes and programs tossed into a pile. When the pile of ephemera got to be unmanageable, it would get spilled into an envelope or box for filing away. The list that follows is certainly not complete, but there's sure to be interesting tidbits of information here and there…
