Managed to "run into" Tara at Santa Fe Station...the rat. Didn't tell me she was coming out, she wanted to surprise me. She succeeded. I actually missed most of "Takin' The Hit".
Vegas friend brought a bunch of band/work buddies with him and all were duly impressed. Also saw another local I'd met in a Boulder Station bar earlier in the day. Plus Joan A's friends (who've become people I can't imagine NOT seeing in town) were there. They know who they are.
Joe was in fine voice, his playing was absolutely superb, and it was awesome to catch up with many of my Vegas buddies again. (And they were worried I wouldn't show up?)
Overall great show and the lighting was much better this time around. Tara and I both took a lot of photos and there were many others with cameras there, too. Should be some good stuff online soon.
