I only caught part of last night’s benefit at the Moore. Susan and I had a window of 7:30 — 9pm, because 1) I was completely wiped out after the previous night’s awesome—but horribly late—Daedalus show and 2) Susan had an early flight to the east coast and had to leave for the airport at 4:15am this morning.
Still, an hour-and-a-half seemed like plenty of time to take in some comedy, catch some music, and provide enough material for a “Yesterday” assessment.
Last night’s affair had a casual vibe, however, and nobody seemed interested in sticking to my timetable. It was supposed to start at 7:30, but didn’t actually start until after 8pm. I only got to see maybe half of the comedians, and almost none of the music.
