There were something like 30 or 40 people- just about all the
place can comfortably hold.
All told, a great evening. I hope I was able to capture some of
the flavor of the show.

I was going to comment that it must have been very dark in there,
until I realized that you were shooting some of those motion-
blurred images at ISO 1600 - and f/16!
I actually like some of the ones with the motion blur in 'em. Puts
a little "zing" into it even though it lacks the sharpness that I
usually (for better or worse) push for. I think especially with
the pretty bland overhead lighting you needed to do something to
liven it up. Not a bad set.

Thanks for the comments!
I was experimenting with the blur- and in 20-20 hindsight, I should
have stayed at f8, and minimized camera shake.
I started the night with manual focus lenses, and decided that I
really need a KatzEye screen. The K100D is tough to manually focus in
available darkness.
