It’s about an hour before doors open here at the Arclight Dome, and we’re inside the dome with the crew watching the setup
happen. Man, what a cool theater this is. There’s not a bad seat in the house, just as they say. We’ve set up shop just
behind the railing in the right center of the main level.

A line of a couple hundred has already formed around the outside of the theater. We chatted with a few of the folks at the
front of the line — Apparently, the crown of first went to a group who came at 11 PM last evening. The main group there
apparently hit the local bars, then camped out right around 3 AM. Some folks are huddled in blankets and shivering, after
the rain that fell for a couple hours late last night, but most look energetic and ready for day of View Askew magic.

As we speak, they’re running tests on the various copies of “Big Helium Dog”, finding the best looking version, adjusting
color, etc. It’s a beautiful operation they’ve got going here. A crew of around 20 strong is setting up cables, lighting,
and sound. 5 director’s chairs have been set up along center stage, where Q&A’s will take place.

Kevin and Jay have arrived, and we just said a quick hello and given a handshake to Kevin, who’s stopped into the Dome to
make sure that setup is going smoothly. There’s a long day ahead, but we’re all excited and can’t wait to get those doors
open. It won’t be long now…
