Tonight's show was delayed about ten minutes or so for the conclusion of this year's basketball championship, which saw the Cleveland Cavaliers outlast the Golden State Warriors. Boo, hiss! It was rigged! And then when we headed inside, I found our seats occupied; what? Turns out that the house had goofed and marked our seats as returned, then resold them. Dang! I hate it when that happens. I ran downstairs to straighten things out, and got lucky, getting reseated a little off-center in row F, just up off the dance floor. A very nice resolution of the problem, whew!

Whoa! This section is incomplete for now, sorry!

And while we were hanging out in the lobby after the show, yacking with friends, one of the ushers offered us comp tickets to the Henderson Lab gig, so we bid a quick goodnight to our pals and hustled inside to catch the end of the late show from Claudia Quintet.
