The Crowd: Almost everyone in Houston seemed to be there last night, from musicians of every stripe to writers, promoters, and photographers, and even frequent Houston guest and Spoon front man Britt Daniel.

Overheard in the Crowd: A guy behind us kept screaming "Canada" like he was a quarterback calling audibles in between songs.
Random Notebook Dump: "Rebellion (Lies)" could soundtrack a mass violent workers revolt or the best love story that Shakespeare could have written.
