Apparently, the line went up the stairs of the church, out the door and around it. I don't know that ALL the 'turned away' found a way in, but I did see a couple of them inside. I got there about 4:30 and until the concert was over at 1:30 (or so) AM, I sat down for maybe a cumulative 10 minutes. Every single performer was amazing, and if Rick could have decided the format, he would have done it exactly the way it happened.

For each set, the performers all sat on the stage and took turns. There was a backing band that was more incredible than most of us can dream of. The whole night couldn't have been better in any way... aside from maybe more chairs and room. I wonder how many people were there.

Two things:
ve, you can e-mail Joe Offer at joe(at)mudcat.org. Your Mudcat 'handle' is 'Eve Goldberg', but Joe will have to get you your password..

The other thing is that the show was recorded and will be broadcast by CIUT at a time to be determined.
