I forgot I'd asked Nick to come to my office and help me get it organized today and made him wait outside for office for far too long. He got a lot done in the latter half of they day, though, and I gave him off time to go pick up tickets for the Other Ones (post-Dead band) benefit for Rainforest Action Network at the Warfield. Clutch move. The show was triumphant. Kimock's debut, partially in the shadows, was worth being there for, worth ponying up the extra benefit money for.

Briggs couldn't come out tonight, but she was amazingly understanding about the "must see" nature of the event. She isn't a Deadhead, maybe a mild fan, but she understands.
