We arrived at the theater early to stand in line at the box office, because Jenn and I didn't have 2nd night tix. They didn't end up opening the box office until about 15 minutes before the show, but we were near the front, so we got tickets. Row FF: not bad tickets (not 10th row like first night, but not bad at all!).

The symphony was noticeably louder that night, a definite plus. You didn't have to sit and pick out the symphony, you could just hear it 85%-90% of the time. Ktulu was again amazing!! Puppets had a lot of stuff I didn't hear the first night from the Symphony.. and it was really amazing. All the songs were just as amazing as the first night, if not more, but other than the symphony being louder, there were now other differences in the actual songs.

"No Leaf Clover" and "- Human" were great, and I was glad I got to hear them again! The Symphony does the intro to "- Human" and if they put this on a studio album, I sure hope they bring in the Symphony for that, because it's a terrific part of the song. I was completely psyched about hearing brand new songs, and then being able to hear them a second time was amazing!! The songs truly are amazing. Clover is so heartfelt and passionate, and Human is so crunchy I just wanted to jump headbang until my head fell off!

Again I was able to meet up with the people from yesterday's review, which was great! I met soo many great people, and hopefully I'll see most of them again, and meet even more people at the millennium show! Thanks again to Liz and Yeag for shelter and tickets, and thanks to everyone else I met for a great time!
