      Now that's a synchronicity palindrome for you guys!

      From 5H review by Caryn Rose @carynrose

      "It is one week since Bridge, and I still find myself utterly overwhelmed by the experience, unable to adequately express in words what we experienced last weekend. The magnificent California sunny weather, the Gathering of the Tribes-like PJ Homecoming atmosphere, the singular feeling of being in the presence of true greatness -- all of this brought more than one person, myself included, to tears at least once during the course of the weekend. Every time I have sat down to try to start writing, I start remembering the weekend in my mind and I just don't know where to start.

      I suppose I should have some kind of profound closing thoughts here, but I don't know what more I can say that I haven't already. While these shows have been documented and recorded and videotaped and cybercast and photographed, what those recordings can't convey to you is the feeling that surrounded the whole weekend. The atmosphere backstage (as related by stories told by the various artists) spilled over into the audience, and vice versa. I am now a three-time Bridge veteran, and I have seen some great artists (I never thought I'd beat the 96 lineup, for example) -- but this weekend was nothing short of perfect.

      I guess Ed said it best: "In an already-charmed life, these last few days have been one of the highlights of life on earth."
