great show. the sound could've been better last night, though. i
don't think they soundchecked, actually. ryan went up to the front of the
stage during the lounge's set, and told them to play longer. tim asked how
long, then asked the audience, "has anybody seen robyn?" then there was a
long changeover, and when robyn finally showed up, he said, "i just got here
thirty-five seconds ago. i trust everybody is okay, and that you saw the
departure lounge?" i'm wondering if maybe robyn stayed behind in chicago to
do an WXRT spot? carissa and i passed the company van on the way from
chicago. they noticed us, actually (the van had tinted windows, so it'd
have been difficult for us to notice them). ryan was driving, and kimberley
was sitting in front. i asked tim after the show why kimberley got to sit
in the front, and he replied they were deferring to his greybeardedness.
