I am back home after driving 1200 miles there and back, and all I can say is would have been worth twice the drive. Hurtling through the I-5 corridor down the San Jouquin at 90 between the hours of 3 and 5 in the morning is something no-one should miss, unless they can! LOL

Utah and Kendall are like two hurricanes doing the foxtrot -- a true perfect storm of good humor and grace and deep humanity and wide and wonderful tales from all over time. The crowd loved'em both completely. Absolutely had 'em eating out of their hands.

Joe is thinner and better looking than I would have guess from his pictures. Franz, I am sorry to have missed you. I couldn't stay very later because I already had, and still had to run down to San Jose and San Diego.

I am very, very happy that Barky got to see this evening's show -- she and Nicole were just jaw-dropped and delighted, but they learned some deep and important stuff, too.
