"Happy Ska-lidays" show.  HUGE night - like 180+ people huge.  The differing horn arrangements between bands made for some tricky changeovers, but everything seemed to fall into place just in time for the next set to begin.  I'm pretty sure we used absolutely every minute between 7 PM and 10:30 PM for this show.  Had a little problem when the slamming started a bit too wide - our Christmas tree took some damage, and the stage left mid-high got knocked backwards onto the snake head.  Everything was pretty fixable, thankfully, although one of our rope lights eventually got hammered past the point of no return (but that was just wear and tear from changeovers).  I'm pretty sure that this was the biggest night ever for Underground.  I'm not sure that it can (or even should be) topped, unless there was somehow a system for rotating audience in and out.
