The Never Ending Pool

It's now a couple of hours 'til showtime. Wicked Drifter will be texting me the setlist tonight from NYC. I know there are heightened expectations for this last show of 2008 from The Big Apple. Does Bobby have some surprises in store for us, or will it be another predictable setlist? Always a dicey proposition trying to second-guess Bob.
Right after the show, LostJohn will be calling me from the venue with his observations and details beyond the setlist, so stick around beyond song #17.

Have fun, everybody!

I predict:
A)This will ultimately turn out to be Bob's last stop on the NET (and maybe touring for good.)
Those in attendance - consider yourselves lucky.
B )Just another - yawn - stop on the NET, with a predictable no-surprises setlist.
Those in attendance - consider yourselves lucky.
C) Something in between A & B
(wish I was there right now!)
Those in attendance - consider yourselves lucky.

thanks everyone for being such great bob-friends!

here's to a great year of bob-joy! we are lucky!

He's opening with "Rank Strangers To Me".

I predict one moderate-level surprise (live debut of something like Someday Baby, Cross the Green Mountain, etc.) and an otherwise normal show.

How about a surprise duet with Patti Smith...Changing of the Guards...

I sure would love to have this happen (i.e., a live debut). Wouldn't put money on it, though.

Oh, no I'm not Just waiting for Wicked Drifter's first text. Nothing yet.

it is gonna be a good one - YA!

I'm wondering if there might be some kind of problem with texting from the venue. I've still received nothing from Wicked Drifter. I just texted both him and LostJohn (also at the show), but haven't received replies from either of them.
I also tried phoning both of them. Neither of them answered, just got their voice mail.
Any suggestions out there?

I'd say give it another 10 minutes before you panic - could be nothing.

what is the scheduled start time?
i dont see one on boblinks

8 p.m. per Dylan.com

and if in 10 there is still radio silence then I will panic with you - okay let's make it seven golden minutes.
