        Hey, I liked the robot! :)

        That in fairness, is true.  I was actually surprised once or
twice by the prominence of the guitar, since Brock has been hiding in
the back of the mix as well as the back of the stage of late.  Now
if only he'd given that wah pedal a good workout ....

        They should put it on wheeled units and wheel everything into
place and plug it in before the set.  Yeah, that would take a little
longer than having everything already set up (in the next county) but
the pros outweigh the cons.

        Next time, I'll keep it in my _outer_ pocket! ;)

Cheers,
