The big bands are back: Another semester of Lab Band Night at the Syndicate started with the One O'Clock last night, which means that The Hang™ has returned to its usual location for a while. One of the cool things was that, up until the second-to-last chart, everything that the One played all night was something I'd played before (that penultimate tune was a new composition from Lab 2004, so obviously I haven't gotten to play it yet). It was totally packed, and, for the second time in as many Lab Band Nights (going back to the end of last semester, of course), they played "Machito" to close out the night. Good times...
