In attendance: Glenn Hughes, Brad Hogg, Chris Paquette, Rick McCarthy, and Victor McSurely.
In response to the weather (and suggestions from Victor), the circle chooses to forgo "life-changing work on C Major and the 7 modes" and play outside. After first rendezvousing at the loft, we all load into Rick's vehicle and drive over with amps and stools, arriving around 8:15. Finding a spot in front of the Boston Architectural College, we set up, warm up, and start playing around 8:30.
As before, there is no setlist, but circulation and improvisation play a big part in the presentation. Repertoire includes some of the usual suspects (not in order): Eye of the Needle, Askesis, Growing Circle, Third Relation, Calliope, Batrachomyomachy, and the Prelude Circulation. We also play Opening and Where's the Nurse 3 times each, at varying points. Opening is tough--we haven't played this for a few months, as a group.
Finally completing around 10 p.m., we call it a night and count up the offerings: there's enough for ice cream, as well as a little left over for the band kitty. At JP Lick's, Chris unsuccessfully tries to convince us that he's unentertaining, and we all end up on camera at one point or another. A good close to the night, with a few more people in town becoming aware of the group.
Back to the loft, and a final shifting of materials. We all head home for the night, around 10:45 or so.

Ended up on camera while sitting in a giant teacup, no less. Also, let's not forget the dancing baby (which fascinated me to the point of chumping the Bbm section before the climb on "Where Is The Nurse").
