Todd wore matching shirt/pants in a soft rust/red, green Converse All Stars, his bone necklace, and his adorable smile.
After the initial explanation of this 12-day tour fitted around his talks in California and the East Coast, he asked for a volunteer from the audience who is a fast, touch-key typist, AND a Patronet subscriber, for the web portion of the show. Chuck M. was our local "lucky guy". TR: "Hey, Chucky, don't look at my password!" Chuck was up at the PowerMac most of the show -- great seat, dude!
Todd had a camera set up on a tripod and took a bunch of photos (360 degrees) of us in the audience, to upload to the Web. (At 1:00 a.m. in LA there's nothing there yet) TR: "There's a lot more people here than there are subscribers!" A large TV monitor was set up ready to play Incorrect Media videos which subscribers sent in.

He doesn't practice, man; he just feeeeels it!" TR: "He really just wants to rap. Now, every time I go to the piano, I'm afraid Bob will show up!
