Endless runway taxiing...

Leaving for campout
It's after noon. I was told to be ready to go at 10 a.m., but my family's had some trouble getting everything together. So, I'm back home waiting for a phone call.
Last night's They Might Be Giants show was... good. Chadd and I decided we were definitely spoiled seeing them play in New York City in 2001. The show in Salt Lake City just lacked the energy and charm we saw at Irving Plaza.
But, we did have excellent seats: front and center. I took about 130 pictures.
They had no opening act and the show was short - only about 90 minutes including two encores, but they sounded great and they did a good job entertaining the crowd.
Speaking of the crowd, I would bet this was the largest, and oldest crowd They Might Be Giants had in Salt Lake City. My guess is that the Red Butte Garden is very effective in promoting their events to an older age-group than most concert venues.
Anyway, I haven't had a chance to go through and “do my magic” with all the pictures I took, so I'll do that when I get back from camping... if I ever go. :-)
