NOTES

Review by Melyssa Reynolds:

We got to the show early and the place was really laid-back. The doors were already open, even though they were still sort of setting up chairs, and we were able to grab some chairs.

There were four pillars as the backdrop (this theater hosts true theater productions and often has generic set stuff around), and his tour flag was displayed between the center two. Todd came out looking pretty well and ready to play.

Todd's back was clearly hurting by this time and he had already spoken of us "running him out of gas" by this time. The show started shortly after 8:00 and ended at shortly after 11:00 with a 20 min(ish) set break. He was definitely having fun, but was a little... subdued. Although, he did pick it up at times. The crowd was on the smaller side and were more of the listening type than the participating type.
