Not to be that tunnel-vision jerk who acts as if the opener is just the hired help or whatever, but I'm obligated to be at a professional conference in Ohio til 3 PM the same day. So some small-scale gonzo moves will be necessary to make this work; I'm thinking non-stop flight, carry-on only, brief pop quizzes of cabdrivers regarding their feelings on speed limits and red lights...

Anyway, if anyone has any info at all on what time The National is planned to go on stage, it would be an enormous comfort to me if/when I find myself not yet quite in my seat at 8 PM on the 23rd. Thanks.
