• 11:17 pm: good god! we're still going!
• 11:52 pm: now in cruises with some music going on. bodhran, two flutes, uillean pipes. They were good but it did appear that they were more interested in playing for themselves than for the audience. When they were done, people clapped but the players didn't acknowledge it in any way.
